​Shrawan’s community journey began with Google Developer Communities, where curiosity sparked his passion for building connections and discovering the power of people coming together. From those early days of exploring tech spaces to founding and growing the Postman Pune Chapter, he has always believed in empowering developers and fostering meaningful growth.

Along the way, he has helped scale communities at DigitalOcean, AI Camp, and Postman, earning recognition for blending AI, strategy, mentorship, and people-first engagement.

His advice: stay curious, focus on people, and nurture real connections. Community building isn’t just about what you manage—it’s about who you grow with.
