So a few friends (Aviraj, Maneesh, Sahil and others) have been planning to start Ignite in Mumbai and have asked me to be one of the presenters.

For those of you who don’t know what Ignite is about – it’s a gathering of people (generally entrepreneurs, technologists, DIYers, creative professionals, and enthusiastic knowledge-seekers) where individuals can present something. The presentation can  be about anything – just has to be interesting. The catch is that the talk should be exactly five minutes long and must use no more than 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. Not easy.

While I haven’t decided what I’ll talk about, here’s a super cool video of a recent Ignite presentation, presented at the Ignite chapter somewhere in the UK I assume.

Tom Scott presents a near-future sci-fi story called Mob. It’s got this Douglas Adams feel to it in its setting and its humor – which makes it a total stand-out. Enjoy.
