Hello Everyone,
My name is Sagar Deokar, an engineer by profession working with one of the payments technology based MNCs and wishing to be a humanitarian one day. I’m from Pune, India, the Cultural Capital of Maharashtra which is also known as the Oxford of the East.
I started contribution to the Google Maps a few years back when I was searching for my building in Maps and I was unable to find it. I added a place in Maps and within a couple of days information was live. That was a start point and an inspiration for me to start contributing.
Food. The word itself is enough to make you go crazy over. And when it comes to local food, we all know that local food has a separate fan base and no other food can replace its taste. But finding it is a tedious task though. It is more tedious if you are an outsider.
To contribute to this, at present, I mostly focus on rating restaurants (most of which are local ones), reviewing them and above all, adding actual pictures of various dishes served there. And I hope this helps Maps users to find and choose right restaurant for themselves.
This feeling of Maps users of finding right restaurant makes me feel proud of myself. Apart from this, I also try answering questions about different places. Making life of small businesses as well as tourists easier with the more accurate information and connecting them is certainly something to be proud of.
I hope I continue to do more contribution to Maps as World is getting closer and becoming more accessible to people.
