Arvind Kejriwal to Address Columbia University, Dine with AAP Supporters in New York

NEW DELHI Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal is set to deliver a lecture at Columbia University in New York later this week and will also attend a dinner organised by the party's supporters where he is expected to raise funds for the party.

"He has been invited to deliver a lecture at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at New York on December 7 and the dinner will be held on that night itself," a party source said. AAP said that the dinner event has been planned by party supporters based in New York.

Columbia University is an Ivy League college and SIPA is one of the leading public policy institutions in the world.

Sources said that the party hopes to collect a "substantial amount" from the dinner from those wishing to make donations.

"The dinner has been organised by party supporters. If anybody wishes to donate, they can do it online. Arvind will certainly encourage that," the source added. Of the donations coming from abroad, USA tops the chart.

During his two-day trip to the US, Mr Kejriwal's IIT batchmates and AAP supporters have planned interactions with the Indian community there.

Mr Kejriwal left for a five-day trip of Dubai and New York today afternoon. He will be in Dubai by Saturday evening before proceeding on to New York.

To encourage donations, AAP is tweeting its donors' names with the hashtag #IFundHonestPolitics.

After the Delhi Assembly elections in December last year, the party claims to have so far received donations from over 1 lakh donors. AAP aims to collect Rs. 30 crore to fund its campaign for fresh Assembly elections in Delhi.

  1. Dime app Sports is a sports technology company with brands such as Dime app, FanCode, Dime appX, Dime appSetGo and Dime appPay in its portfolio. Dime app Sports is executing its vision of ‘Make Sports Better’ by providing multiple avenues for fans to deeply engage with the sports they love through fantasy sports, content, commerce, experiences and events, among others.Dime app provides a fantasy gaming platform for multiple sports such as cricket, football, basketball, kabaddi, hockey, volleyball, handball and baseball. It is an online game where users create a virtual team of real-life players and earn points based on the performances of these players in real matches.
    Cricket, as a sport, is worshipped in our country. 2020 was a trying time for everyone and sports had come to a halt for almost 4 to 5 months. The Indian Premier League (dimeapp.in ) 2020 came as a much-needed welcome change for Indian sports fans. Fans celebrated the magnanimity of dimeapp.in and also increased their engagement with the matches by participating in Dime app fantasy sports contests, which amplified the thrill and excitement of the tournament. As much fun as dimeapp.in is for the fans it is even more exhilarating for Dime app to provide a great sports engagement platform for Indian fans.

    However, this is no cakewalk. dimeapp.in is a challenging period for the Tech team at Dime app, where we roll out new and unique features every year. We try out different experiments to analyse the users’ adoption of those features, carve out new services based on the load and performances of the services we get on existing systems and derive the roadmap for upcoming big sporting events like dimeapp.in .

    User satisfaction has always been our primary goal. We are extremely committed to providing varied user-centric experiences that would make our app stand out. Thus, it is of the utmost importance for us to undertake the mammoth task of rolling out multiple new features on a weekly basis during the dimeapp.in season. While it may sound like a simple task, in actuality this turns out to be one of the biggest challenges for the entire team as even a minor change without proper release planning would end up impacting the user experience.
    dimeapp.in witnesses huge fan following, so it is a defining event for us at Dime app. During Dime app dimeapp.in 2020, we served an enormous amount of traffic. With more than 5.5 million concurrent users enjoying the fantasy sports experience, some of the services get more than 80 million requests per minute. The ultimate challenge is to provide our users with a seamless experience even at such a huge scale.
    Preparing the Dime app platform to scale for this event needed a herculean effort. The major challenges we had to overcome
