Volunteer for FOSS Bangalore

New Volunteer
1

Hi all, interested in volunteering at FOSS United at the Bangalore chapter.

Sharing the requested details below:

  1. Why do you want to volunteer?

Working closely with technology for a while, first as a self-taught developer during college, and now in the Go-to-market side at a Series A startup. Being around startups has deepened my interest in technology, open-source, and the process of building meaningful products.

I’ve always admired communities that create and share knowledge openly, and FOSS United feels like a strong intersection of technology, community, and contribution. A friend, Ujjwal Sharma (Igalia), suggested I connect with the team at FOSS United, and it felt like the right place to contribute, learn, and meet builders who care deeply about creating quality products.

  1. Previous experience, if any

I don’t have formal volunteering experience yet.

My background started in software. I was a self-taught developer and spent time building and understanding products from the ground up. Over time, I moved into marketing & GTM and growth at an early-stage startup, where I now work closely with product, sales, and customer-facing functions.

Great at understanding & working on business-side of tech.
