RightMesh Welcomes Second Ambassador, Hiten Shah (India)
We are very excited to officially welcome Hiten Shah as our second RightMesh Ambassador!
Hiten first discovered the RightMesh project in early 2018, when he came across our home page and the line, ‘Connecting the next billion without infrastructure’, caught his attention.
Although he wasn’t familiar with mobile mesh networking at the time, Hiten started reading everything he could and asking a ton of questions to the RightMesh team in our online community.
His thought provoking questions and passion for the project was infectious, so a few months later, our team invited Hiten to be our Online Community Manager. After nearly 11 months of working with our team, Hiten is ready to take on a larger role within the company by representing RightMesh in his local community.
Hiten’s understanding of RightMesh, having come from within our community, and his desire to bring connectivity to the 65% of India’s population without internet, make him an excellent addition to our growing global team.
Read the full interview to learn what inspired Hiten to become a RightMesh Ambassador.
