Alas ....if I were to know that! By the way, do you know how to get my upvote??? Or ain't you much bothered about it? 😉

I think you should focus on writing amazing blog posts, commenting and interacting with as many good Steemians as you can. Almost everyone here like to upvote great content in the interest of community. Mostly all witnesses and whales have interest in the development of this community and consequentially this platform to take STEEM to moon. So if you can contribute anything toward that extent, your role here becomes more valuable to every stake holder here.

I guess... though not limited to Indians, beside encouraging new joinees @firepower plays a key role in binding and developing Indian community in particular. So if you write more India focused content and interact or extend your support and help more to Indian community, you may be helping his intention. But I'm no one to comment on it. Your best bet is to contact @firepower regarding this. Steem.chat is a good platform to have personal interactions ...as you already missed on attending this year's Steemfest by now 😉 But do keep an eye on any Steem meet up being organized in or near your place.

Personally, I'd suggest you to not to have your eyes on any particular account's upvote but try to gather as many upvotes as you can. Everyone will vote you eventually!

ATB!
