Hello everyone.
I have just relocated to Pune and I have been following this fantastic platform of the Rodinhoods which doesn’t allow me to speak simply because it says most of all that I want …:))
All this while I was waiting to see the word PUNE pop up on the board alongside some of my favorite cities…so all Rodinhoods from Pune if we all can start some meet up be it tiny but seriously committed I would love to ride through my journey (Phew!!) of this entrepreneurship with you lovely people. Walking alone is just too hell hard!! 😉
My email is smkapasi@gmail.com. Please comment below or drop me a mail and we can exchange numbers and get connected.
Looking forward!
Shabbir

Hi Shabbir. We can meet for a chat on any weekend. It would be a good idea to plan pune rodinhooders’ meet and invite Mumbai team as well. Basheerkazi@gmail.com

It’s been a long wait. Yet no Open house in Pune. Is Alok not interested in Pune (though he is a mentor for one Pune startup)
asha chaudhry
hi roshan,
thank you for your passion.
in the last two and a half years that i’ve known alok – he hasn’t visited pune even once for work. it’s also about logistics. how many rodinhooders live in pune? the whole objective of this post is to get a fix on the numbers so at least all of you could start meeting up like rodinhooders of delhi do regularly.
yes alok mentors aniket & sarang – but they come to meet him at his office in mumbai.
kindly appreciate that a lot of energies and preparations go into the making of an Open House  – we need a month in advance to announce & curate it. and a team from each city to volunteer to organise it. check the recent delhi OH & b’lore OH.
ps: pune isn’t far from mumbai. and all the rodinhooders of pune whom i’m familiar with attend every Mumbai OH… 🙂
Roshan Desarda
@asha chaudhary Yes we can definitely be in Mumbai for the Open House
There is no day when we friends don’t mention Alok in our conversations here in Pune. He’s an inspiration for us

Hey guys, lets plan a rodinhooders meetup next weekend?
Shabbir Kapasi
Well the response seems like everyone is on the edge. Let’s not get in to what “WAS” let’s meet coming weekend. How is Saturday evening? I am open on a work day evening since this will just be a quick catch up and Intro…we all need to carry our business cards/doesn’t matter if no cards but get connected.Â
@ Jatin @ Basheer @ Omkar and all others here my number is 8007344736. Let us talk and get it going!! Am thinking of Venues/Locations.

Jitin Pillai

asha chaudhry

like the rodinhooders of delhi do every two months –Â

Pune’s Historic First Rodinhood Meetup happened today and it was Super Splendid!! 🙂
Thank you all for coming in!
Others who wanted to but could not make it.. do make sure you join us all in January.Mandar had a splendid suggestion of giving Puneri flavour to the meetup by trekking to Sinhagad early one weekend so that we get to spend good time with each other and share stories and lessons learned while getting fitter.
We all hope Alok , Asha & Akancha would be able to join us soon in the first or second quarter next year in Pune.
Thank you Asha for joining in via Google Hangout. Thanks to Mandar for getting Asha in the meet via your devices.

Hey fellas! We have recently launched our service Eashmart. I was visiting Pune this Saturday and thought if any startups in Pune are interested in offering card on delivery to their customers, I could talk to you on how we can solve the problem for you. Our solution does not require you to even buy any hardware to get started.
We recently launched, and you can read about our story here:Â https://www.therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/how-shit-happened-with-our-first-user-and-how-we-managed-to-1

Dear Doers,
I am inviting you all for the screening of an hour long documentary film : Startup Kids
Here is a summary of the film from their website https://thestartupkids.com/
“The Startup Kids is a documentary about young web entrepreneurs in the U.S. and Europe. It contains interviews with the founders of Vimeo, Soundcloud, Kiip, InDinero, Dropbox, Foodspotting and many others who talk about how they started their company and their lives as an entrepreneur.
The movie is made by two Icelandic entrepreneurs, Vala Halldorsdottir and Sesselja Vilhjalmsdottir, who founded their first company shortly after the economic collapse of Iceland and wanted to motivate other young people to become entrepreneurs.”
Here is a teaser:
When : Coming or Next Sunday late afternoon I would be happy to screen it more than once if some of us cant make it on weekend.
Where :Â I have my home in Kothrud and though most of people who came last time for a meetup were from Kothrud or not too far away from Kothrud, any one else has more centrally located home or better still an office ?
How :Â I have a LCD Projector & a desktop with reasonably loud speakers.Â
 PS: You might enjoy reading this interview of Sesselja Vilhjalmsdottir and Vala Halldorsdottir !
Devdatta Puntambekar
Thats great idea, Omkar!!
