I enjoyed travelling , connecting and befriending Vijender, Vishal and Vishwajeet (all the Vs of our car-pool). Interacting with some of the booth members was also fruitful, but I am by habit not a very outgoing person, so didn&#39;t connect with many other people who weer present. (the crowd as twice that of proto). but ya, overall you wisely saved the trip to mumbai, though with all the hiccups I still cherish the visit.Sandy Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18181208258255926986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838435224349124350.post-41566343386593011852009-09-13T16:05:25.333+05:302009-09-13T16:05:25.333+05:30thanks for the post, I was looking for any update on this event. <br />Reading from what you wrote, I guess I wisely saved myself a trip to Mumbai :).. How was the event off stage in comparison to proto.in? For me the most fun part in proto was meeting different people there.Hemanshuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15167974665434932623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838435224349124350.post-2446293700606292952009-07-31T16:42:21.740+05:302009-07-31T16:42:21.740+05:30your def. an entrepreneur material and all the best for you venture &amp; it is certainly going to be a hit &amp; be an example to follow.

Packing too much in a single day may have been the reason I couldn&#39;t network much; but let me forewarn you...I am not much of a netwroker or social bee in the first case, so perhaps I too am to blame to an extent!Sandy Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18181208258255926986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838435224349124350.post-14126268902468999902009-07-27T12:02:47.387+05:302009-07-27T12:02:47.387+05:30I think Proto, being a one day event this time compared to the two day events earlier on caused the lots of things to be cramped - including the elaborate networking sessions.<br /><br />Most of the lunch and tea time was spent waiting in line to get the food and thus did not provide much of networking opportunities.<br /><br />The cramped up lunch area also was a big problem.<br /><br />I have attended Proto in IIT Chennai and the huge campus and space provides plenty of opportunity to move around and mix around with people.<br /><br />The auditorium was excellent, but some other alternative arrangements could have been made for lunch. The terrace maybe? Next time?saurabhjhttp://saurabhj.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
