Feb. 2014 Mumbai Open House – do you wanna Volunteer?!

By asha chaudhry on 59 Comments / 3976 views

Hey all,

We’ve been getting heaps of queries about our next Mumbai Open House (which was originally planned for Dec but postponed owing to Alok’s crazy calendar!). We’ve got some exciting stuff cooking for you in trhs open house kitchen – so we are really gonna take you by surprise this time!!

The earliest date we could get at our favourite venue – NSE is Feb 8, 2014 (Saturday) so pls mark your calendar!

Why are we reaching out to you? To invite you to come and organise it!

Last month, we had two Open Houses – in Delhi & Bangalore – that were wonderfully organised by the respective city teams. Pls read this post to get an idea how everyone contributed to the awesomeness! 

So the core idea being that Rodinhooders from every city should get a chance to be a part of the organising team of any Open House or Meet-up. Calling all you good people who’d like to volunteer in any capacity – venue co-ordination, backstage/mic & sound system support, photographers, anchors, content curators, PPT specialists, social media enthusiasts, event reporters…. and WHATEVER YOU DEEM! We are very open to ideas – we just need YOU!! 

Please note: Every city team is flexible and responsibilities can/should rotate amongst different Rodinhooders for every event! For example Anamika organises every Delhi meetup. She prepares the master PPT – hosts the meetup and does all the content co-ordination. I’m sure she would welcome someone who’d volunteer to share her responsibilities!

So holler. And remember, innovative suggestions are welcome!

[ps: Sushrut Munje has already pitched to co-anchor the upcoming OH – but the more, the merrier so please don’t feel shy – just paint your name in the comments below…]

  7. hi basheer,

    as in you’d like to write about the event? that would be event reporting!

    the content for the event comes from the participants’ ppts and is looped into one master ppt – so there is no content creation as such….

  33. Hey Asha..count on me if you (still) need content curators, PPT specialists, social media enthusiasts..:)

  34. So so wish I could have volunteered for this except that I am busy on that particular Saturday with my leadership program – if there is any pre-event prep that I can do without physically being there then happy to be involved. Am sure this will be another super Open House

  35. Ardra and I at Lowfundwala Productions want to be your pro-bono media partners. Hope you still need something like that…

    We’ll confirm our presence soon :).

  39. Hi Asha and all Rodhinhooders!

    I joined this rocking community few weeks back and have been quietly following the stuff. Thanks all, really feeling great to be here. I have had also attended the last Mumbai OH. Just awesome! Now, I can’t control myself to bag this golden opportunity to volunteer for this event in any way. I am jack of all and master of none. So ok doing any stuff (not literally ;)).

    Nipesh Kothari

    more soon…  the OH event has been announced so pls RSVP HERE – https://www.therodinhoods.com/events/therodinhoods-mumbai-open-house-in-february-2014

    check out the agenda – https://www.therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/therodinhoods-mumbai-open-house-feb-8-2014-agenda

    write to me asha@rodinhood.com in case of any queries!!

  53. imran – you can be the other mike runner with karan – essentially we need two in the audience. very very important to keep the audience involved and the energy up!!!

  54. Yupp… will do!! 🙂

  55. Hey Rodinhooders,

    I’m so psyched to announce that Lowfundwala productions, a startup I co-founded, will be covering the event and creating videos that are share-worthy and fun to watch.

    While we’re fully geared up and excited to be there, we need help with sound equipment (recorders, rode videomic pros) and sound recording volunteers. If anyone here could pitch in, that would be awesome.

    Lowfundwala (http://www.lowfundwala.com) is a 5 month old startup that makes promo videos for startups that challenge conventions and change mindsets. A common myth among startups is that a promo video would cost an arm and a leg. At lowfundwala, we know for a fact that this isn’t true and that high quality, innovative and engaging videos CAN be made for startups, at pricepoints that make sense for a community with relatively shallow pockets. 

    We look forward to meeting you there.

  56. dear all,

    the feb 8th Mumbai Open House has been postponed to March 8, 2014. kindly check the update note here – https://www.therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/therodinhoods-mumbai-open-house-march-8-2014-agenda

    We regret the inconvenience to all of you who have rsvped… hope you can make it on march 8th as well…!!!

  57. hey banisha – maulika might need a hand at the OH – she is planning something for women’s day. can you two pls connect? you could stand near the auditorium entrance and be like the welcome gals 🙂

  58. heyyyy – is everyone excited yet???

    we’ve got all of our ppts in and sushrut is making the master ppt. pls try to come a bit early. catch hold of me and just say who you are in case we haven’t met before (yeah, yeah – old age!!!)

    feel free to start sharing stuff over social media. #trh if you mention @therodinhoods while tweeting i can re-tweet.

    see you sooooon!!
