YICG-GFS kids are introduced to a a very wise and intelligent guest speaker Nidhi Shandilya, by the Ganga Game Bot Mentor Pranav Krishnamurthy It is with great pleasure, pride, and honor to introduce a great friend of mine from the West Coast! Nidhi Shandilya, is a Product Manager at Microsoft, more specifically with Microsoft Teams Platform. When I asked Nidhi to spend a few minutes of her time talking to our students at Games For Seva, I was moved at her speedy acceptance. I hope that the next 30 mins are not only fruitful, but since we all are working towards a Kickstarter campaign, one aspect apart from actually creating the campaign is managing it. For which, having a PM (Project Manager) mindset, would be required, and is where I felt Nidhi’s experience is a match.  I hope you prepare with some questions, and join myself, Rathi Aunty, and Madhu Aunty in welcoming Nidhi Shandilya, our guest speaker today in a special AMA - Ask Me Anything session! To connect with Nidhi, her LinkedIn profile is below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nidhi-v-shandilya-b05170b/ During my time as a vendor with Microsoft, most of my day-to-day activities involved development of Microsoft Teams App Templates which was spearheaded by Nidhi, and as the App Templates initiative grew, and focused on customer adoption, my role saw a metamorphosis as well. Apart from development, I tag teamed with Nidhi interacting with CPMs, CSMs, and customers as well - answering any and practically all questions.  One such App Template that I worked on directly was FAQ+, which is the very bot that the Ganga Game Chat Bot Team is building from scratch! Yes, we can take what I already did, but it would defeat the purpose of having the youth understand the efforts that are required to build such apps. To find out all about the Teams App Templates, head over to aka.ms/teamsapptemplates, where you can also find the Source Code on GitHub!
