This Sunday, at the TGP Sessions, we look back at the early public internet in India (roughly mid-90s to 2000). This is an ‘open table’ event: some pre-decided speakers, but anyone with stories to share can ask for a seat at the table.

Update:
We have extended the deadline until Sunday night (15 June).
Anyone submitting after that might still get a chance to perform, but you won’t get to learn from Aditi Mittal. And that would be a waste of an opportunity to learn from a pro.
Summon up your best words and courage and apply!
