Dear Friends,
Season's Greetings! hope you are doing well in this pandemic. Take due care and stay safe.
It’s been a fortnight full of action! I have started meeting people, building the network on ground and we are about to hit the runway. I have met couple of interesting professionals, and you would have seen my updates on LinkedIn. I am happy to receive your response and support.
As a next step, we are planning to launch our first webinar on 19th June. In addition to our first event in India, I am happy to share that we are actively engaging in two conferences namely CogX and Women in Quantum. Look forward for our social media updates and feel free to register. These events are complimentary, but registration is essential, so I urge you to reserve your slot as soon as possible. Let us together make these events a success. Feel free to extend our event invite with your colleagues, friends, and customers.
I am meeting various professionals, students, researchers, and entrepreneurs, looking forward to meeting you soon at one of the one-on-one meeting. I passionately believe that together we all would be able to make our engagement enriched with learning, networking, and collaboration opportunities.
Here’s our next newsletter, feel free to go thru and share your feedback with me on LinkedIn.
