Hi Meruva!
SwiftScribe is a web application designed to transcribe and summarize video meetings, enhancing productivity and accessibility for professionals, students, and individuals with language barriers or hearing difficulties.
Why work with us?
As a mentor, choosing SwiftScribe as your team would provide you with the opportunity to guide a group of highly motivated and skilled individuals who have a proven track record of delivering innovative tech solutions. Notably, our team's prowess has been recognised in competitive environments, where we won 1st Runner-Up in the NUS Fintech Hackathon and were finalists for BitHacks Hackathon 2023. These accolades bear testament to our commitment, technical abilities, and innovative thinking.
We have a clear vision for our project and understand the potential impact it can have on various segments of society, including students, professionals, and individuals with hearing difficulties or language barriers. Our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, combined with our technical skills and business acumen, make us an ideal choice. Furthermore, we are eager to learn and grow, and we value the knowledge and guidance that a seasoned mentor can provide.
We would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you!
Hi Meruva,
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).

Dear Meruva @"Meruva Kasaiah",
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 (#5793)

Hi Meruva!
We are excited to share with you our product, Boundless Bazaar. It is an e-commerce web platform that connects travellers 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, while earning a commission doing so.
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.
With your expertise and guidance, we hope to create something truly special that will benefit consumers all over the world, and we would be honoured if you would consider mentoring our team as we bring this platform to life.
Thank you for your time!
Best Regards,
A&EmoneySaver

Dear Meruva,
We are a team called Project Rama, and we will be working on a mobile application that aims to connect people to form the perfect team and manage their tasks within that team. We observed that students are unable to find like-minded teammates to collaborate with one another in a project. Therefore, we’ve come up with our app Launchlab NUS to solve this issue and better manage tasks and deadlines. Our project involves the use of tech stack such as Flutter, Supabase, Figma and PostgreSQL.
We have decided to reach out to you as our application development project would be in line to what you are looking for. Furthermore, given your expertise and experience, we believe that you would be the perfect mentor to guide us through our project.
We would be honoured for you to mentor us and provide us with your valuable insights and feedback. We are eager to learn from your experiences and gain valuable knowledge that can help us improve our project.
We look forward to hearing back from you soon!
Best regards,
5290 - Project Rama
