Rohan’s journey began on Stack Overflow, where curiosity sparked his passion for giving back and building connections. From migrating Botpress communities to Discord, to scaling the Postman Pune Chapter, he’s always focused on creating spaces where developers feel included, valued, and inspired.

Along the way, he has organized 35+ tech meetups across India, delivered 18+ talks for global communities, and launched The Edge Forum, a flagship invite-only series for senior tech leaders—turning audience insights into high-impact engagement.

His advice: talk to five people daily, understand their needs, and help them. The goal isn’t to promote your organization, but to genuinely support members.
