rounding off BarCamp Delhi

BarCamp Delhi was a captivating event. Even though I joined the group a little late, I experience new manifestations of the web 2.0 culture, explored new approaches to life and met an interesting group of people. And perhaps for the first time, I came across people who share my passion and interest and lives very much in and around Delhi. In the recent past such events and people were either in the far distant lands of Europe and America or in the not-so-distant lands of Bombay, Bangalore or Hyderabad.

I am listing some of the more exciting memories which are still lingering with me

Rohit Malik - devoted to Osho and events-in-Delhi with equal felicity
Amit Agarwal – “making his living out of blogging”, and have some exciting tips on blogging
Prashant Singh – a marketer by profession with a nose for technology and an instinct for entrepreneurship
Gaurav Bhatnagar – young director of a young company, with some hard learned lesson on start ups
Jonathan Boutelle - A principal at Uzanto Consulting and one of the core inspiration behind BarCamp Delhi
Ajay Sanghani – core team member “India first technology blogging network”
MindCanvass – “A web based rapid research service” from Uzanto
MyToday – a web based aggregator that enables you to have topic base RSS feeds

Against the backdrop of the informal approach, I would say this was a rather successful event. Looks like this event will go a long way in putting Delhi on the international map of IT events.
