Transcript

Welcome to Mumbai guys. This is a great opportunity I would say because this is something I wanted to do uh 5 years back when I had this thought I was I had this thought to build something very uh new in the web three space at that time uh when I was in I I've been in Mumbai since 8 years and I never had this chance to you know work go to a hackathon and build some ideas. So I think you guys at this opportunity especially for those guys who are from Mumbai. This is something you should capitalize on. You should build something great.

And I think uh right now we are at this uh stage where we are seeing a lot of different initiative around new new ideas around DeFi. Privacy uh social different are out there and if you can also build some very different kind of new primitives like derivatives are there, commodities are there, you can build anything onchain and now we have market for that. So I wanted to say one thing that I have heard few stories where few teams went to a hackathon and they ended up making something very amazing which ended up making them some sustainable product. They raised fund also after you know coming out from a hackathon idea. So you you should also build something like that where you can also raise fund you can also you know build something which could be acceptable to the market where people can use the product that is where the utility should be there right because ultimately what what generally happened in the hackathons where we try out different ideas but you should focus on that those ideas which should be which should be acceptable by the community which should be usable by the community which should have some sort of market and if you can focus on this kind of idea you can also get the market and you can also to maybe manage to build the next next polygon or next uh uh transit from this hackathon and uh that is the ending note I would would like to share and yeah this is my thought on this and thanks uh it is Mumbai for giving me this opportunity to uh present as a uh speaker and also I'm a part of the judge panel so thanks for that and lovely lovely event thank
