There were 100+ high-quality applications this year, making going through and selecting hard and time-consuming. I am happy about them. Thanks to friends for pitching. Gangadhar(25K), Shweta/Ashwini(50K), Divya(50K), Nemo(50K), Kamala Manoharan (100K), Y(30K), S(10K), and T(10K) pitching in to make the total amount 4.25L.
