Hello @hardiktheprogrammer

Thank you for putting this together. Are you interested in finding someone from the Akash community to give this talk, or are you volunteering yourself to give the 4-5 workshop?

Are you going to be collecting leads from the participants?

The idea of working with university students is something that is high priority for many folks in the Akash community.

Is there an ask for this proposal?
