Bringing cardano to the young and to the masses

Hey everyone

As a longterm contributor and denizen of this forum and other cardano social communities , I would always get FOMO whenever cardano summit happened. Therefore, two years ago, as a college student, when I realized that there was a community event happening in india near me , I went to that event. I was shocked by the sheer apathy and incompetence of the people present there. For one, the only exposure around 80% of the people had to the project was trading it on an exchange and the other 15% didn’t even know what staking was. I found no developers , no entrepreneurs or influencers.

This was a shocker to me as a college student as we had Solana and Ethereum hackathons all the time in our colleges and the enthusiasm and technical depth people had their was the exact opposite of what I experienced. Even though crypto is hot and upcoming, unfortunately cardano is not as popular as I’d like it to be in India.

Since then , I have been a project catalyst milestone reviewer , made cardano technical video as a Cardano Ambassador and also gone through Emurgo’s Cardano solution architect course. Recently, I had the chance to go to Indian colleges again and realized that the situation is still no different. A big issue I realized is a lack of local Language technical onboarding video content. Although we have big tech influencers making technical hindi content for Solana and Eth, cardano unfortunately still has no ecosystem inertia. This is a huge setback as we are missing out on 1million+ engineers who graduate every year who could be onboarded to cardano and bring in new ideas, entrepreneurial ventures and lower development costs due to network effects. Therefore, I have made a catalyst proposal to let me produce technical content for Indian students in Hindi.

Please support it to help me achieve this.

Cheers🥳

Good to see you spreading the word back home.
Even if this time you don’t receive Catalyst funding this round, you will achieve this goal of yours. I will be following closely.

I was reflecting on my day and I realised the last line could be interpreted poorly.
@icycranberry’s post for this same project in the Cardano Developers channel on Reddit caught my eye, and we exchanged some comments.

Personally, I like the idea and will be posting about why, and some other things, on the forum in the near future. I just have some IRL irons to take out of the fire and forge first.:wink:
Be well,
GJ🙏
