+Learning Process:

+- Async Learning & Virtual Mentoring
+- 5-2 Model
+- We will start on a the weekend, say, on a Saturday evening with a face to face call for dissemination of study & reference material for the initial topic
+- Learners will have a period of 5 days to go over this material and try out exercises
+- The next Saturday evening, we will get together for Office Hours to focus on clarifying questions and doubts that the learners have
+- During the Office Hours call, materials for the next topic will be shared
+- repeat!
+- Approx. duration for the entire programme would be 6-8 weeks
