OffChain Global

OffChain Global is building a trusted global community where members can build their professional social network through virtual and in-person events and find the resources, both locally and globally, required to be a productive member of the Web3 professional world.

We welcome those who are already part of the Web3 world, as well as, those who are interested in entering it; whether that means starting a company, getting a job, holding digital currency or just learning the lingo for party conversations. 

Blockchain industry folks are plugged into the network 24/7 and are looking for an excuse to unplug once in a while to socialize. As the world becomes more and more on-chain, we see this as the perfect opportunity to go off chain to meet other passionate people in the space and educate newcomers.

OffChain meetups are for socializing and learning from one another so that we can stay up to date with the latest news and developments in the blockchain space. Going OffChain provides a casual space to not only talk about crypto but also make friends with people that have a very similar interest to us.

It’s also a great opportunity for those new to the blockchain space to learn from the old timers as they can catch them during their downtime.

OffChain was started in 2017 with the vision of bringing people together to connect on a human level. Our regular meetups are very casual with no speakers or sponsors but we have been known to have a speaker or panel from time-to-time.

I witnessed an accident involving an autonomous vehicle in the 90s...

which led me to mechanical engineering and ultimately to the automotive industry!

------

It all started with a small dc motor.

I know what you are thinking...

What about the autonomous vehicle in the 90s?

It was an autonomous vehicle but not life size let's say...

Fine, it was a small toy car ok!

Coming back to the dc motor...

You see, as a child, I had a favourite toy car - with big wheels & flashy red colour.

and one day, while testing its off-road skills, I let it drive down the steps...

No biggie right?


Only the steps were going down 2 floors & with them my favourite red car also went down - quite literally.

I ran, suspecting a massacre and was not surprised.

There it was, still in its red glory but only in pieces now.

That was the day I first felt the pain of heartbreak.

But there is a silver lining - that was also the day I fell in love with cars, weirdly because of the dc motor!

In that mess, I found a tiny motor which was running the entire show.

I immediately ran to my dad demanding to know what it was & how it works.

"It's a dc motor buddy, it runs on these batteries & powers the car"

"Huhh?" my face was literally a big question mark.

"You see it's like your heart. So the food you eat is like batteries running your heart - the dc motor...which in turn helps you run, got it?"

"Ya kinda...so batteries are like food for these cars" I tried smelling one of the batteries.

Dad quickly grabbed it from my hand & said, "Ya but only for cars...not for humans, OK?"

I nodded. 

"Let's not tell your mom about this analogy also"

"Ana..what?" 

"This example of batteries as food for cars,  ok?"

"Ya ya, got it. But dad, this will not work now?" I pointed at the messy wires.

"Why not, here lemme show you..."

And then he joined some wires, placed the batteries in the slot & told me to switch on the small button.

I obliged and voila!

the motor started working!

and this is the story of how I fell in love with cars!

After that incident, I used the hell out of quite a few dc motors & pencil batteries.

That's part of the reason why our wall clocks were never in a working condition!

-------

Completed high school with flying colours as they say & got into mechanical engineering - duhh!

and since last decade, working in the automotive industry in R&D project management.

---

As you can tell by now, I'm passionate about automotives & in love with storytelling.

Here to combine both!

Drive safe and keep reading.

Don't do both at the same time though!

Cheers,
Raj
