A personalized message: Why should the mentor pick your team?
Hi Simran
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. With your expertise in both in Technical and Business aspects of the software, which will help us over over one the obstacles along the way, we think you're the person for it.
Why should you pick us? There are a lot of teams out there, 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.

Dear Simran Keshri @"Simran Keshri",
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)
