Lets get going in Kolkata!!

By Umesh Bhutoria on November 19, 2013 19 Comments / 4060 views

There are some decisions you take, really work out to be the ones you had to take! I took one, visited IIT Delhi Seminar Hall on the 9th of November for my first The Rodinhoods Open House. Well as they say, rest is history!!! Thank you Alok, you were wonderful! The fact that you are so “common” and “simple” even after all you have achieved makes you special.

It was thrilling to see a full house and all for a voluntary cause. After AIESEC, i have only seen this at The Rodinhoods! Right from Alok to the everyone else involved has one “selfless” objective of promoting and supporting entrepreneurship. Its this spirit which makes me believe we should have The Rodinhoods started in Kolkata!

All folks from Kolkata do comment on the thread and lets get it moving. Asha expecting you to guide us here!

Cheers,

Umesh.

Hi Umesh,

You have taken the word out of my mouth, thank you…

Let us bring all rodinhooders from Eastern Zone together and arrange a meet up in Kolkata. I am all yours in this.

Dear Asha: Please let us know if we can have you or Alok available in next few weeks for the first meet up of Kolkata.

PS: Dear Umesh, please feel free to connect me at: amar.pratap@orionnext.com, skype : amar.pratap or phone: +91-9333744422.

Best Regards,

Amar

:))))))))))) i love your enthu guys!

alok’s calendar is pretty much full in nov & dec. plus for an OH we need to announce it a month prior 🙂

what i sincerely suggest you do – is first get a fix on the numbers – and have a rodinhooders of kolkata meetup (like delhi rodinhooders do once a month/once in 2 months).

then when we can plan a proper OH with alok (based on his schedule)! in the meanwhile i will be more than happy to help you out on your meetups from the backend…

🙂

Thanks Asha :))

Sounds like a plan, hope we will have the first OH soon as instructed.

Keep encouraging 🙂 🙂 Best regards , amar.

Hey Amar, just dropped an email to you. Let’s connect.

Asha, quite correct we will try to have some numbers and may be a couple of meetings before we can plan an Open House with Alok. Will speak to you once I have a discussion with Amar.

Hey Guys,

Kolkata’s startup ecosystem is steaming up..with entrepreneurs like Abhishek Rungta, Pallav, B hari and all ..we can definitely make this a great event. Last month TiE Durgapur Chapter was also launched & some of the startups are really making great news.

Lets bring the The Rodinhood’s CAP to East.

Hey guys, I see its been two months since this post, but still no meetup info. I will be at Kolkata from 26th Jan to 4th Feb.

I suggest we meet up on either 1st feb(sat) or 2nd feb(sun) if saturday is a problem.

Let me know if this works..

Hey All

Just came to know about this post through Asha ji. I am from Kolkata. I could see the buzz in this thread, but I guess things didn’t take off. How about re-energizing this post and organizing a meetup here? Maybe we could create a FB group to knit together all of us in Kolkata? What say?

Regards
Abhishek

hey all,

my humble request – if you create a separate fb group – pls don’t use trhs branding – it’s against our policy. hope you understand!

other cities do have secret/closed/private groups minus trhs branding … many have whatsapp groups as well 🙂

all the best!!
