[Talk-in] Hello

[Arun Maharajan]

Hey Arun,

Thanks for the info. This could be useful actually.
Once i create my POI map, I can use Overpass to query them out and share the query results with the world. 
Am I correct?

Is there any trick to keep track of those places which I tag? Say can I use a tag with my name on it or some keyword on it which will uniquely only be mine? 

Thank you.
Arun

You could try reaching out to such folks and check if they are interested in hosting a mapping workshop where you could train others and build a more active community in Mumbai.
