Do you remember when I asked about the meaning of your name, @KetanChhaniyara? Reading this post make me wonder about our last conversation in Singapore. I love the name of this meet up. You know, Ketan in my language meaning sticky rice. So.. Coffee with Ketan is really a perfect combination! Good luck for the meet up!
Excited to co-host this meet-up and connect with fellow Local Guides! @KetanChhaniyara Looking forward to great conversations, useful Maps updates, and sharing ideas on sustainability and local shopping.
Hope you’re having a wonderful week! My meet-up, “Koffee with Ketan,” was just approved for November 2nd. Due to shorter planning and time constraints, the 5-day submission window didn’t permit me to select our actual planned date of Sunday, November 1st, so I chose the 2nd as the closest option to ensure it was submitted on time.
If it’s not too much trouble, would it be possible to kindly update the meet-up date to Sunday, November 1, 2026 on the post? If that isn’t feasible from the backend, I completely understand and will happily add a clear update in the description and comments for attendees.
Best wishes for your Meet-up @KetanChhaniyara,
The meetup name is quite unique, and I’m looking forward to the great discussions, useful Maps updates, and learning more about sustainability and local shopping. See you all soon! @Jaykumarb , @Henil .
Excited to meet you and all fellow Local Guides. Looking forward to the wonderful discussions and a memorable meetup.
This is exciting. Exploring local businesses at the shopping festival and discussing about sustainability and inclusivity would be interesting. I will be joining you for few hours @KetanChhaniyara and @NareshDarji. Looking forward to a great meetup.
It seems very interesting Happy to join in the meetup @NareshDarji@KetanChhaniyara Monday a bit tough even it’s 2 Nov so unsure due to that specific but if it’ll shifted to Sunday then it’s very grateful.
I can help you with this request and I’ve made that change, but please keep in mind that this is an exception. Going forward, please ensure you allow a 5-business-day window when submitting future meet-up requests.
