I’d definitely encourage everyone to join offline — nothing beats the energy and hands-on learning! 💪✨
For those joining virtually, don’t worry — we’ll plan something fun when you’re back in Pune after Diwali 🎆😄

Ofcourse virtual attendes should get same goodies provided as given to people in person. I belong to Dhule it's much far and I need atleast 7,8 hours to reach by traveling one side and from both sides it's always hectic . If we get this opportunity of attending virtually, we would be greatful for that opportunity given and even in case of goodies also I feel there shouldn't be any discrimination.. !!It's a humble request that Due to location problem our learning shouldn't stop... So there shouldn't be any discrimination 😇

Hey organizers 👋

I just wanted to share a small request since I’m from Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, it takes around 19–20 hours of travel one way to reach Pune, which makes attending in person quite difficult.

It would be really great if virtual participants could also get the same goodies and opportunities as in-person attendees. Learning shouldn’t stop due to location barriers, and equal recognition would truly motivate us all. 😇

Thank you for understanding! 🙏
