Tell us the following:

What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y.)
Hotel: Depend on organizer. I don't know the price of hotel in Pune.
Travel: Approx. US$~750
If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No?)
No
If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
NA
What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
Two things to do:
1. Bidding for the next FUDCon, hopefully, Cambodia will win this time, so we can do a hand-over ceremony there.
2. Being on the Panel Discussion with other Ambassadors from APAC.
3. Bring more Ambassador T-Shirts there.

Somvannda, please get an estimate to Mumbai, not Pune. We can arrange for a cab from Mumbai to Pune.
