GM Polkadot community,
We at India Unlocked had previously posted a comprehensive proposal (#1449) for a 4-month educational and community building program across India. After receiving numerous feedback suggesting we start with smaller initiatives, we have come up with this focused 1-month marketing bounty to demonstrate our capabilities in building Polkadot's presence in India's tech ecosystem.
Check out our previous proposal here: <a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1449">Namaste Polkadot: Education and community for Polkadot India (#1449)</a>

Timeline: 1 Month
Requested Funding: $4,998 USDT
Proof of work: TL;DR&mdash; We are currently active Arbitrum Ambassadors managing the <a href="https://x.com/namasteAVMIndia">Namaste Arbitrum Twitter handle</a>. We specialize in regional outreach, having created localized content for both Arbitrum and Venus protocols, along with organizing successful community events (parties, mixers, meetups) across India. Please check the <a href="https://polkadot-unlocked.notion.site/">India Unlocked Portfolio</a> for more details.
Namaste Polkadot Marketing Bounty aims to demonstrate our ability to accelerate Polkadot's growth in India by focusing on two key areas:
<ol>
<li>Educational Content Creation:</li>
</ol>
&bull; Translation of 2 already existing comprehensive educational videos into Hindi (reaching 40.10% of India's population)
&bull; Creation of 10 short clips from these videos
&bull; Development of 3 infographic threads and 5 "Built on Polkadot" threads
&bull; Production of a "Word of the Day" series covering 10 Polkadot ecosystem terms
<ol>
<li>University Workshop Program:</li>
</ol>
&bull; Conducting workshops across 2 universities in Hyderabad
&bull; 4-hour intensive sessions covering Polkadot fundamentals, development, and practical applications
&bull; Hands-on wallet creation and interactive learning experiences
&bull; Establishing support channels for ongoing community engagement
Key Success Metrics:
&bull; 2 Hindi videos produced
&bull; 10 short clips generated
&bull; Total social media posts - 50
&bull; 80% workshop attendance rate
&bull; 90 total wallet creations (45 per university)
The initiative addresses the need to demonstrate our capabilities before scaling to a larger program, while still making meaningful progress in introducing Polkadot to non-English speaking audiences in India.
We have also prepared a sample video in Hindi. You can check it out here&mdash; <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gn0Y3A3wKhLwZEqpoJuu7GP4_Jk-wuMA/view?usp=drive_link">Link</a>
