If this works for you, I will add your segment.

Our Dao Presentation for funding:

After watching the presentation I still have one question in my mind (sorry if it was mentioned and I didn’t catch it). In your budget under ‘online presence’ there is a spending for online advertising $200 included and also under ‘partnership with Indian tech communities’ you’re planning to invest $300 in promotional activities. I wonder what specific activities are meant with online advertising and promotional activities and would like to ask you to explain that in detail, please.
I should probably already inform you that we don’t have such tradition of funding any advertising or promotional activities as a rule when it comes to community grants.
Thank you in advance for your response!
GM
Hope you are doing Great
We meant activities related to inviting influencer, Twitter ads or outsourcing work from Marketer.
For this part here promotional activities includes Poster/banner, stickers or any kind of Goodies.
While the second item $300 (posters/banners, stickers etc.) is completely OK, the first one - inviting influencers or marketers, paying for ads is an activity the DAO does not support and has no past experience supporting. I would appreciate if you could focus on promotion activities without paid marketing and exclude that from the budget.
I hope that it this change can be accommodated without causing significant problems

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the clarification regarding the DAO’s limitations regarding inorganic marketing. Moving forward, I understand that it would be prudent to exclude such activities from the budget.
Please let me know if there are any further adjustments or modifications required, as I am committed to ensuring that our marketing strategy aligns with the DAO’s objectives and restrictions.

Project Overview: The Graph India’s Impact on The Graph Ecosystem
Grant Recipient: The Graph India
Grant Agreement Commit-Hash: 3858eb9315ef3a0a93d0701961ffbc2a57d45205
Grant Amount: $8,650 USD / 79,533 GRT
Grant Term Length: July 20, 2023 - December 20, 2023
Executive Summary:
Introduction: The Graph India became a recognized force in web3. Big names like Eth Global, Zk-sync, and Circle started noticing us. Our community became a go-to place for advocates looking to contribute to decentralized tech.
Key Achievements:
1. Recognition and Acknowledgment: We gained attention and respect from major players in web3, solidifying our position as an important community.
2. GraphAThon’s Success: Our GraphAThon event attracted a lot of attention online, bringing in early subgraph developers within our indian ecosystem.
3. Introducing Newcomers: Our ‘Navigating Web3 with The Graph India’ program introduced fresh faces to web3, helping people explore decentralized tech.
4. Support and Collaborations: We backed The Graph Foundation at PUSH BRB, Eth India with grants and sponsored hackathons in Kochi. We also supported ConnectVerse’s impactful work.
5. Talent Addition and Representation: @Megabyte & @0x_yasshhh joined us and are dedicated to our cause. Yash represented The Graph at conferences like WEB3Conf Goa and NEAR APAC plans to contribute more.
6. Technical Contributions: Megabytes’s simple and top-notch technical blogs helped many understand complex web3 concepts easily.
Challenges Faced: Initially, forming a strong team and managing work was tough. But with the help of @Megabyte and @0x_yasshhh, introduced by @pdiomede, things improved. Managing logistics was a challenge, but I worked hard to ensure timely shipping, although it was a costly and nightmarish experience. Thanks to The Graph Foundation and @pdiomede, they understood and comes to our Aid.
Getting people to understand and contribute to GIPs is tough. We’re still figuring it out. Also, it’s hard to find developers for Firehose and substream, apart from subgraphs. But I believe if our team has come this far, we can reach Firehose and substream too.
