    Posted 23 days ago
    I'm Sam Rana, a first-year B.Tech student in Civil Engineering at Delhi Technological University (DTU), India. I'm excited to join the Horizontal/Subsurface Infrastructure & Transportation community and connect with fellow professionals.
    As a civil engineering enthusiast,  I'm passionate about designing and developing efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation systems. I'm committed to staying updated on industry trends and best practices in transportation engineering, with a focus on innovative solutions for smart cities and infrastructure development.
     
    I'm proud to share that I'm re-establishing the ASCE DTU chapter. Additionally,  I'm exploring startup opportunities in transportation engineering and would love to connect with like-minded individuals.I'd love to collaborate with fellow community members on projects or events that align with our shared interests.
    If you're interested in exploring collaboration opportunities or learning more about my startup idea, I'd love to connect with you.

    Hi Bill,
     
    Thanks for your interest in my startup idea! I'm excited to share more details with you. My vision is to create a one-stop solution in transportation engineering that provides a wide range of services, including:
     
    - Innovative street solutions
    - Converting rural to urban infrastructure
    - Smart traffic management systems
    - Contract alerts and procurement services (I've already built a website for this)
    - Mentorship and guidance for young civil engineering students
    - Awareness programs and promoting civil engineering as a career
    - Integrating AI and technology into civil engineering
     
    I'd love to get your guidance and feedback on this idea. Your expertise in the field would be invaluable in helping me refine my concept and turn it into a successful startup.
     
    The plan I have in mind is quite comprehensive, and I think it would be better to explain it in a more interactive setting. Would you be available for a quick online meet? I'd appreciate the opportunity to share my ideas with you in more detail and get your feedback.
     
    We could use Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any other platform that suits you. Alternatively, we could connect through WhatsApp, email, or LinkedIn messages.
     
    Here are my details:
