SIDTM Mapathon 2022
With nearly three decades of experience in technology consulting, community building, and open-source advocacy, I am passionate about empowering individuals and organizations to thrive in the digital age.
As the Founder of AFROST and a co-founder of PyDelhi.org, I've built and led high-impact tech communities and organized marquee events like PyCon India, directly supporting the growth of India's open-source ecosystem.
My expertise spans Linux, Python, Kubernetes, AI, and DevOps, and I have partnered with leading organizations such as Red Hat, Cadence, and IIIT. I take pride in having mentored and trained over 50,000 professionals, helping them launch successful careers and tech startups.
I believe in the power of collaboration, open knowledge, and inclusive leadership. If you share a passion for technology, open source, or building impactful communities, let’s connect and explore how we can make a difference together.

S.P.A.R.S.H., the I.S.R. wing of Symbiosis Institute of Digital & Telecom Management (SIDTM), Pune in collaboration with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), has conducted the new edition of 'Mapathon'.
The ‘Mapathon’ is a great opportunity for volunteers to digitally connect and map the most vulnerable places in the developing world so that local and international non-governmental organizations can use these maps and data to better respond to the crisis affecting these areas.
On 6th March, students put combined efforts to mark the unmapped regions in Bhuragaon, Laharighat, Dhing, and Mikirbheta in North East India for a few hours. The event was a great success and got us one step closer to the upliftment of Humanity.
