Brings back many memories from the early days of HasGeek.

I was a founding engineer at a startup, Adiquity(formerly Guruji) when my colleague, Harish Sundararaj first gave a talk on Nginx at RootConf iirc.

And ever since, I’ve been a big fan of HasGeek. Attended hackathons and many conferences during my stay in Bengaluru until 2013, before I moved to the bay area.

I really enjoyed the energy levels of your team and seen you strive towards building a high-quality tech community and play a key role in fostering the fledgling tech startup ecosystem.

The below picture you used on your JSFoo 2014 page included me, unintentionally I’d assume, but it built a lasting connection with the HasGeek community :-)

You and your team should be extremely proud of this milestone, and I wish you the best for many many conferences both national and global over the next decade.

Regards,
Pranil

Before Hasgeek, my idea of attending conferences was similar to that of attending a live concert where you watch a few rockstars perform from a distance. Hasgeek turned the entire idea conferences into that of an approachable community. Everyone at their events — speakers, volunteers, attendees, organisers and sponsors — share a sense of belonging to the same community. There’s something for everyone — great content, a warm setting and most importantly, meeting (and making) friends who naturally turn into collaborators and confidants for life. Their practices have set a high benchmark for tech communities and events in India — open proposals & editorial, great production quality, thoughtful community guidelines, responsible privacy/sponsorship practices and working wifi (yes, that’s no mean feat!).
