Hello LGs,

Diwali is around the corner and this is the best time to support our local and small businesses in neighborhood.

I am hosting a Diwali Market walk meet-up on Sunday, October 5th at 5:30 PM IST at Deccan Gymkhana, Pune. It will be a hybrid meet-up and our @SharmaK ji will be a co-host. The link for the virtual will available before 12 hours from the start time of the meet-up. Kindly get he RSVP for the same to avoid delay joining us.

We will cover the following during the meet-up:

  1. Support small/local businesses
  2. Food crawl and of course, some chai pe charcha too!
  3. Accessibility check, and
  4. some Map updates too, if possible.
  5. And, if time permits, some online quiz for virtual attendees

I am inviting as many as our local guides to join this wonderful meet-up with fun and learn!

Cheers!

Thank you @AjitThite for hosting this wonderful Diwali Market Walk :handshake::sparkles:

I truly appreciate your consistency and dedication, which is something we all can learn from. Back in 2024, your contributions toward supporting local businesses during the Diwali festival were even featured by Googler Latika :glowing_star:. You have been continuously promoting local businesses for a long time, and even after receiving recognition, you remain deeply involved—making it a true mission.

@kumaarsantosh rightly mentioned in one of his GG Series meetup recaps, “our guest speaker was the biggest promoter of the Dil Se Local concept – none other than you, Ajit Thite” :clap:.

I’m glad to join as the co-host for this hybrid meet-up. Excited to meet everyone tomorrow – both on-ground at Deccan Gymkhana and virtually!
