Welcome to newsletter #14!

It has been an interesting week to say the least. I made my first visit to India to attend the IC3 conference in Hyderabad and then to join the Cialfo high school tour in New Delhi and Calcutta. A highlight, for sure, was being here for the India moon landing! Here’s a quick synopsis of the week on LinkedIn.

That said, with any luck, the newsletter will eclipse 200 users before this goes out. Currently sitting at 197!

In any case, feel free to drop me an email at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you!

Enjoy this week’s newsletter!
