We propose hosting PyCon India in Hyderabad from 29th September to 2nd October 2023. Details regarding the proposed conference format, expected number of participants, ticket cost, workgroups, and finance partner are available in this Google doc [1]. We would greatly appreciate your go-ahead to proceed further.

I believe it was intentionally planned that way? Sanchit can probably
chip in here. October 2nd is not a religious holiday either and I
believe these dates are actually ideal so that the folks travelling
back after the conference can rest a day without having to get back to
work / college / working-day responsibilities. And the ones who wish
to attend dev sprints are free to do that too.

My personal opinion is that these dates work best.

If you foresee anything specific regarding how these dates with one of
them being a public Holiday might cause any trouble, then it might be
more fruitful to discuss that.

Since it is an extremely detailed proposal (which should've taken
quite a lot of time and effort to put together) that Sanchit has
shared, maybe it is best to go through it and focus on giving them
feedback than asking others to come up with more detailed proposals?
It was anyway just PyDelhi who did show interest in taking it up until
now.
