The morning of SAP Inside Track, Gurugram
As one of the core team members of the much-anticipated SAP Inside Track, Gurugram 2024 event, I woke up to the sound of rainfall still pattering against my balcony. The city was already drenched with heavy rainfall the previous day, and the forecast wasnโt looking any better for today either. My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Would the weather dampen the spirits of our attendees? Would all our meticulous planning go in vain? Despite these worries, I knew the SIT event would be a success. As I arrived at the venue, I met the volunteers along with my fellow core team members Vipul Khullar, Vartika Gupta, Anuradha Dhingan, Meghna Patel and Neeraj Manocha. The energy among us was palpable, and as the first guests started to trickle in, we felt a surge of optimism. And there we knew it was going to be a day to remember!
