Hi Google,
I am Arka Ghosh & I am a Google Local Guide (Level 7) from India. I am basically from West Bengal (India), but living in Odisha (India) for job purposes since last 5 years. I recently working at Tata Steel Kalinganagar which situated in Jajpur (Odisha, India).
I love to travel new places & and gain knowledge from them. I love to click pictures and frame them in my camera. I love to explore new places that’s why I collect maximum number of information which one I visited & update them in Google Map.
In this 21st century, Google Maps created a great impact by giving Tech solution to the world. It facilitate human being by giving traffic update, giving direction of unknown paths,.Even it gives us a brief idea or information about particular places (Any Tourist place,Institution,Variety shops, Malls, Restaurants, Parks, Office, School or Colleges etc.)
After joining as a Local Guide of Google Map,I got a great platform for which I always want to do in my life. My moto was to help various people of my Locality,Country as well as all around the World through my personal Data collection of Various places,which I already visited throughout my Journey. So that, when anyone Search thats places in G-map or Google,they will get a clear perception & roaming there Hassle-free in future or fell free to choose for the better place.
I also mark the important information (Contact No & opening-closing time) click photos of the Shops,Malls,Variety Store,Service Center ,Hotels, Restaurant, Hospitals, Medicine Stores etc. of my locality & the places I already visited & add those Information in Google Map. I also give Detailed review of those places which helps people to choose them.
I also add the places which are popular & important in locality but that is not available in Google Map. So that more people can know through Google Map about this places & grab their facilities when they need. It also help to grow socially their (newly built shop,malls, restaurant etc) business too.
I love to meet new people & make new friends that’s why I host a Google Guide Meet_Up also in Jajpur Road , Odisha (India). That was a memorable day for me.
Other local guides who join me share their experiences with me. we celebrated our Meet up.
Finally, Google announced “Local Guides Connect Live” program for 2018.I am waiting for this & very excited to join this program. Because, the program will give me a Global Flatform to Meet same people like me who Contributed a lots of information for improvement of Google Map all over the world.Where we can discuss how to improve Google Map in a better way & also share our own ideas/experience too. It also gives the opportunity to make new friends & know their culture, livelihood, Languages, experiences.
Another big reason for join this program is to visit Google Office & meet body members & secondly I never flew to abroad. So If I selected it’s a dream come true for me.
So, Best of luck to all the Google Local Guides for the program " Local Guides Connect Live" 2018 in San Francisco,CA.
Hope, I will see you all there…
