​Hello Nikhil Myself Chandan from Mumbai Area, Glad to see your stepping up for Pune region. Can we collaborate on this ? I mean we can have small hangout meet where we can discuss possible contributions for open street mapping community. Since I am also gearing up with the same goal and gladly selected for Open Leadership training [ https://mozilla.github.io/leadership-training/] and together we can do great for Maharashtra region.
