[Anubad] Procedure for addition of projects under Ankur India

[Saibal Ray]

Hi All,

I do agree with what Sayak proposed and Sankarshan's opinion about the 
same. I thought to add that, we should also consider to invite more 
number of contributors. If I am not wrong, by 'we can socialize this a 
bit' Sankarshan has tried to say the same. SEO, content marketing and 
link building and identifying and inviting industry influencers are some 
of the possible areas we can explore to invite and include more number 
of contributors.


To create a 'Standard Operating Procedure' proposed by Sayak, we may 
consider creating a common page of all of us, where we will put our 
thoughts and finalize over time. Space in mailing list may not be 
insufficient for the same.

Thanks.
