## About

Hey, this is Saumil\! 👋 I worked in India and then the US for a few years at Google\. In this time I realised \- to have a great career you must have access to great information and advice, hopefully from other great people\. About 2 years ago I quit my job and returned to India to build Grapevine with my two best friends from College\. Today we are a team of 15 determined people just like you\. We are on a mission to connect every Indian professional with top quality information, advice and opportunities that they can’t find anywhere else\. Not even on LinkedIn\. I want you to try Grapevine\. Please do\. I’ll be grateful\. Maybe it helps you, and just maybe you start loving it\! :\)\)
