Greetings!
My name is Saurabh Kanade and I am passionate about governance, administration and social development and intend to work towards development of my country on all spheres. I work on various social collaboration projects with government and civil society.

My application has been selected by HPAIR Asia Conference 2019 to be held in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan as a delegate for Governance and Geopolitics. I don’t have enough funds which can allow me to attend this Conference and thus I am asking for crowdfunds from people I can trust or have been inspired from.

Brief on HPAIR
HPAIR Asia Conference is the continent’s premier annual international summit for 500 next generation of leaders. Held in a different city in the Asia-Pacific region each year, the 5-day conference witnesses an unparalleled chance to broaden one’s network, knowledge, and horizons.

Why am I fundraising?
The registration must be completed in two weeks from now. As I work with the government in an advisory capacity, government cannot fund me for the conference. And as I work in an advisory capacity, I receive no renumeration from government which makes it difficult for me to fund myself on my own in such a short time.

What would I gain out of it?
An opportunity to connect with brightest young leaders, political leaders, Fortune 500 Company CEOs, start-up entrepreneurs and highly regarded academics from across 70 countries who are as passionate about global changes, a chance to identify development models that work and replicate them back home and a chance to form partnership with organisations who make an impact for projects in India.
It would also be a valuable addition to my resume, and an amazing travel experience and will surely serve as a gateway for my career in governance and development sector.

Expected expenditure

• Registration cost for the conference –                                  USD 425           (Approx. INR 30, 000)
• Return flights to Nur-Sultan –                                              INR 35, 000      (Approx. USD 500)
• Cost of accommodation –                                                     INR 20, 000      (Approx. USD 286)
• Visa processing fees –                                                          INR 5, 000        (Approx. USD 72)

                                                                                                          --------------        
Total funds I intend to raise –                                                           INR 90, 000
