Rajan R D Great to know about this. Amazing platform, great to be part of it and see that it is leading to such real experiences
Tanmay Keshav Thanks a lot Shabnam, personally extremely glad that it has been that helpful to you! To have been able to do that many trips through the platform and to meet all those people, it's incredible. Thanks for writing about it here, after reading your post, started thinking of 2 things. Firstly, maybe we should figure out how many more of us can write about the stories the platform helped in. And secondly, tagging of people is much needed!
Benjamin Thomas Superb! Great to follow the exceptional posts here.
