Rootconf during the pandemic: April 2020 - December 2022
During the pandemic, Rootconf moved to online activities, mainly meetups and conferences. In April 2021, Rootconf ran India’s first Data Privacy conference. This was followed by a conference on data breaches in July 2021 in response to the data breaches at prominent payment companies which signalled the need to spread awareness in the community on the triad of observability, network security monitoring and anomaly detection. In 2021, Rootconf also ran topical seminars on cloud costs optimization and data stores.
In 2022, Rootconf community engaged with CERT-IN by sending a submission on CERT-IN’s new regulations on storing logs and reporting incidents in connection with data leaks. CERT-IN responded to Rootconf’s submission by extending the compliance deadline for MSMEs by three months, thereby giving MSMEs a longer time window to become compliance ready.91 projects

Tech4Food
Food Safety Works is India’s leading food safety solutions company based out of Bangalore, India.
Tech4Food is our initiative to build a community of food scientists and IT/computer specialists who understand each other better. India’s prowess in IT and related technologies is now world class. So there is a great opportunity to apply these in the food science, technology and nutrition domain to innovate and get ahead of the world.
Food is a high risk business and technology can play an important in managing the risks. Technologies like Blockchain, AI, IoT and Sensors can help streamline data, provide insights and help in better root causing of issues. Testing of products is critical but the costs of testing are prohibitive and there is an opportunity to reduce the same by developing indigenous and smart technologies. The amount of compute on the devices have gone multi-fold and there are opportunities to improve screening and reporting.
The potential to apply technology to improve the food safety and nutrition is tremendous. To explore this, we starting a quarterly meetup of food scientists, technologists, nutrition specialists and IT/Computer specialists to discuss the problems, and build the next generation solutions that can be used in the food industry. The meetups will also be an opportunity for enthusiasts from outside the domain to understand the industry. If you are building a product, this is a great opportunity to meet with the industry experts to get quick feedback and also pitch in for a potential pilot.
