Dear Shankar Ganesh J,
We are writing to you to express our interest in having you as our mentor here at Team HawkerBro.
HawkerBro is a mobile application that seeks to connect hawker stall owners and consumers. The hawker culture in Singapore is very unique. However, due to rising food prices and cost of living, the hawker culture is weakening. This has led to a decline in the number of hawker stalls and thus, a loss in some of our traditional foods that are integral to our identity.
This mobile application aims to contribute to the preservation of the hawker culture in Singapore. By increasing the accessibility to affordable and diverse hawker food, we can connect consumers to hawker owners to support our local entrepreneurs.
Our team comprises individuals who are keen in learning new software engineering practices that can help create solutions to industry problems. We decided to reach out to you as your area of interest aligns with the expertise that we require in carrying out our project. We are sure that with your guidance, we will be able to upgrade our knowledge in this field to complete our task and hopefully deploy it for public use.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,
Team HawkerBro (#5623)

Dear Shankar Ganesh J,
We are excited to share with you our product, Boundless Bazaar. It is a web platform that connects travelers and buyers, making it easier than ever for buyers to obtain products from overseas that might otherwise be difficult to access due to location or high shipping costs.
Our platform allows buyers to upload product requests, which can be viewed by other users on the platform. Travelers who happen to be in the country where the product is available can accept the request and help make the purchase for the buyer, bringing the product back with them when they travel to the buyer's country.
We see the potential for this platform to revolutionise the way people shop for products from overseas, and we believe that it could be a game-changer in the e-commerce industry. At the same time, we recognise the importance of building our platform with good software engineering practices to ensure its success.
We are looking for a mentor who can guide us in achieving the highest possible standards for our platform's engineering practices. With your experience and knowledge, we believe that we can build a platform that is not only innovative but also reliable, efficient, and scalable.
We would be honoured if you would consider mentoring our team as we bring Boundless Bazaar to life.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Best regards,
A&EmoneySaver

Dear Mr Ganesh,
We are reaching out to you to express our interest in having you as our mentor for our project, Make it Count.
Make it Count is a mobile and web application that aims to allow NUS staff and students to better manage their nutrition and well-being through the use of Artificial Intelligence and gamification. We aim to implement an image recognition AI that can recognise dishes served in NUS canteens and provide the nutritional breakdown and calorie information of the dish. Furthermore, Make it Count uses machine learning to be able to provide personalised and customisable meal and workout plans based on NUS facilities.
Our project involves cross platform mobile and web development, as well as the use of databases for authentication and image storing purposes. We intend to use Flutter for the mobile application and React for the website. We believe that you would be an excellent mentor for our group and we would benefit greatly from your insights and expertise in these areas. Despite not having much experience in these areas, we are committed to learning and making this project a successful one. We hope to develop good development practices under your guidance and support.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,
Team D7

Good afternoon Mr. Ganesh,
We are Gian Sen and Jason, and we aim to design a holistic mobile app that encourages one to be on their path to become a healthier individual. We believe that with your experience in mobile methodologies such as Agile Development and product development that our app would be able to come to fruition under your guidance. self++ is an app that monitors various aspects of life including sleep, focus, activity levels, and we hope for this app to become an all encompassing wellness app for our target audience. We hope to bring about the idea of gamification by providing daily tasks and rewarding individuals for completing tasks daily, and offer them in game currency to decorate their island to their liking. As students, our overall health is of utmost importance, and we hope this app will help encourage students to approach their lives from a more holistic point of view. The idea of a reward system and customisation of a personal island would serve as a form of motivation for them. As this is a health tracking application, we feel that your experience in the healthcare industry would greatly benefit our project.
Both of us are determined to learn the skills and technologies ourselves. We would love to have a mentor to point us to the correct direction, and provide some pointers when making on SWE practices as well as pointers when making games/mobile apps based on industry experience. With your specialisation in healthcare and experience in flutter, I'm sure our team would greatly benefit from your industry experience.
We have attached the necessary links for more information about our project. Thank you for your time and consideration!
Best regards,
self++

Hi Mr Ganesh,
Our project is a web app which allows users to be able to recycle more seamlessly through the provision of concise and user-friendly information obtained from web scraping of the NEA website. We are passionate about making use of the power of technology and gamification to value-add to the community, and will strive to do our best to learn from the experts in this field in order to keep up with the best and latest Software Engineering practices. Given your experience and knowledge in Web Development and frameworks such as React and Django, we humbly seek your invaluable guidance and mentorship, and will make the best out of this opportunity to have this project come to fruition with your support. Thank you for your time, and we hope to hear from you soon! :)
Best Regards,

Hi Shankar,
I'm Aryan Gupta, a member of Team Kuhaku, alongside Satvik Shankar. We would love to have you onboard as our mentor for Orbital 2023, and feel that we would be a good match.
With our project, we aim to create an ideal investment platform to help people with mechanism for investment of the financial knowledge for the same, to diversify their savings portfolio. Why? Here in India, most middle class families put all their savings in fixed deposits (infact 95% of all savings, by a survey by RBI), and only a few keep mutual funds or stocks (only 8% of the people, as calculated by SEBI). This makes a large part of the population taking under-market returns on savings, and prone to a economic collapse. Well, there's more background, and you can go through the proposal for a lot of it.
Why did we pick you? This is simple to answer. Sadly, we have no prior experience in software development. This would be our first project, and so we have hit multiple roadblocks already. Someone might think that a business-oriented mentor might be better, right now we feel that we will be facing higher obstacles in development, which is what we maximize here in orbital first. And we think you're the person for it.
Why should you pick us? There are a lot of teams out there (and one even before us), and we have no experience to boot. However, it is because of the same, and that we are here at the Arthemis level of orbital, that we will not let anyone else best us in putting in the hardwork. We are passionate, adaptable and look to creatively explore and solve the problem. With your experience, we can take our project to the highest level, and even beyond orbital.
Here are the links to our proposal, poster, and liftoff video. We would love you feedback on these, and would be honored to have you onboard our project.
You can reach out to us at aryan@u.nus.edu or e1070591@u.nus.edu (email), @AryanGupta9803 or @Jfkivtas2804 (Telegram), 91202887 or 86475168 (Whatsapp).

Team Kuhaku
