Bangalore runs on community

The conference machine of Indian tech

The crew behind Rootconf (systems & SRE) and The Fifth Elephant (data & ML) — community-funded conferences whose hallway track alone is worth the ticket. Few organisations have done more for serious tech discourse in India.

Where Bangalore's SREs trade war stories

A close-knit community of systems engineers, DevOps folks and SREs sharing real-world knowledge about building reliable infrastructure. The 2025 edition ran four parallel curated tracks in Bangalore.

India's data & ML practitioners' room

The annual gathering for data engineering, ML and AI practice — held in Bangalore every year, in person and streamed. If you work with data in India, this is your conference.

Bangalore's Python family since forever

The Bangalore Python User Group — ~99 meetups, 27 workshops and 51 talks and counting, meeting monthly. One of the longest-running and warmest language communities in the country.

Google Developer Group, Bangalore chapter

Workshops, study jams and DevFests across Android, Web, Cloud and AI. A reliable on-ramp if you're new to the city and want to find your people fast.

India's largest open security community

Monthly meets, humla hands-on sessions and CTFs. The Bangalore chapter is where the city's security folks sharpen each other — open, free, and consistently excellent.

Application security, done in the open

The local chapter of the global OWASP movement — appsec talks and tooling discussions for builders who'd rather ship secure software the first time.

Deep systems talk, no fluff

Databases, distributed systems, performance — engineers presenting the internals of things they actually built. Hosted on the HasGeek platform.
