Hey there, my beloved connections! I have some fantastic news to share with all of you! I've worked hard on a new project for the past few months. I've enjoyed helping multiple clients with their Developer Relations, Go-To-Market strategies, and even building DevRel teams for startups. And now, I'm thrilled to announce that devrelasservice.com is officially live and ready for action!

Why DevRel-As-Service?

First, I had second thoughts about launching this service, but my mind got cleared. When I led an open spaces discussion at DevOps Days India about “DevRel Hiring is Broken in India,” I realized it’s authentic and familiar to everyone. I met a lot of DevRels, and everywhere was the same. Experienced DevRels face problems getting the following jobs: success in their work, goal issues, getting the right position, etc. If you’re interested in learning my insights about DevRel hiring and why I claimed it to be broken. Comment below or tweet about this, and tag me.

If we complain and do nothing about the problem, it’s an issue within us. I took it seriously because I believe in taking action, not just speaking facts!

I have multiple clients as such now and worked with numerous experienced amazing DevOps and Cloud native experts. Time to help companies and startups build excellent roadmaps and teams, Reach out to me if you have any questions.

DevOpsDays Bengaluru 2023 was a rockstar event🎉 I had the pleasure of hosting it with my amazing co-organizers Saiyam Pathak, Vijay Dhama, Nancy Chauhan, Praveen Shukla, Prateek Pandey, Ashwini Manoj. It was a thrilling two-day event with engaging discussions on various DevOps methodologies. Between socializing with our sponsors during the raffle, participating in OpenSpaces, and enjoying the Ignite/Lightening Talks, the experience was nothing short of enriching. It was incredibly gratifying to witness the fruition of our months-long preparation in such a lively and educational gathering filled with fantastic interactions.

We had a fabulous lineup of speakers, including our keynote speaker, Floor Drees, whom I Introduced as a Barbie from the Netherlands at our event; it was a delight to meet. Her talk on "Scaling Your Work in the Open - Tech Is Only the Tip of the Iceberg" provided valuable insights. I helped her organize the first-ever India Open Source Data and Infrastructure meet-up the next day with 120+ attendees at the CRED Bangalore office.
