Update: After discussions, we have proposed 25th January (Saturday) as the final meetup date. Timing 4-6 PM..

Dear Rodinhooders,

Wishing you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year – 2014!

I had this plan since long, but couldn’t execute it due to some mysterious reasons. But, the arrival of the new year gave me the final push to just do it this time.

Presenting before you: “Lucknow’s First Rodinhoods CoffeeMeet”!

This informal coffee-meet is being organized at Anurag’s office in Hazratganj, Lucknow.

Anurag is a passionate entrepreneur and long time Rodinhooder, who often comes all the way from Lucknow to attend Delhi Openhouse..

I am a Writer and Online Marketer, from Lucknow but currently working in Noida.

Last time, we met at the Delhi Openhouse, and he invited me to his office. But due to time constraints, the meeting couldn’t materialize. I strongly felt that being a fellow Rodinhooder and citizens of Lucknow, we should definitely meet. We were in constant touch ever since, and finally the day has arrived to announce this meet-up for all fellow Rodinhooders and ‘Lucknowites’.

All Rodinhooders/entrepreneurs from Lucknow and nearby areas are co-ordinally invited to this coffee-meetup and meet Anurag, myself and other Rodinhooders.

I have not yet decided on any agenda per-se, but we all can meet, share entrepreneurial stories, discuss the problems which entrepreneurs face, find their solutions and have a great time.

This meet-up has been planned on either of these dates: January 25 (Saturday) or January 26 (Sunday) or January 27 (Monday). You can suggest your preferred date and time, and we will finalize it. There would be no entry fee for this event.. Its free!

Post meet-up, we can even decide to go for a movie or a casual walk across the Hazrat Ganj and maybe have some basket chat and ras malai on the way 🙂

If you are coming, then, please comment here or send a mail at hello@mohulghosh.com or anurag@newgenapps.com. Ok, even if you are not coming, do drop a mail to let us know about you. We are planning to conduct such meet-ups regularly!

Looking forward to the well wishes and blessings of Alok Sir, Asha and all fellow Rodinhooders to make this coffee-meet, a sweet success.

When is the event:

January 25 (Saturday) or January 26 (Sunday) or January 27 (Monday) (we all will decide, right here..)

We are proposing January 25th (Saturday) as the meetup date. Timing around 4 PM to 6 PM..

Who Should Attend:

Rodinhooder (ofcourse!); Entrepreneur; Online Marketer; Writer; Designer; Programmer; Geeks and Nerds (we would be discussing a lot about technology!) Would-be-Entrepreneur (like me!) and anyone who wants to know more about Entrepreneurship, Fear, Risk and Success along with this great movement called TheRodinhoods, spearheaded by Alok sir and nurtured by Asha. We are more 6000+ strong now, and raring to go!

Venue:

17/3 Ashok Marg, 2nd Floor Tekarees Chambers, Lucknow 226001.

Its in Ashok Marg, Opposite Jawahar Bhawan. You all will see a Newgenapps sign on the building

Feel free to contact Anurag at anurag [at] newgenapps.com and 0522 – 4080333

Over to you!

Thanks a lot Asha.. I hope Lucknowites are listening.. 🙂

This is truly amazing. I never dreamt of having Rodinhood or even any other Tech Meetup in Lucknow….. Seems its time to pay a visit back to the city after 30 months….

Having said that, I am curious how many people from ‘city of nawabs’ really pick the event, to discuss and debate one of the most valuable aspects of their professionals life, over their regular stuffs.. Life is really different there or its time I should think differently. What so ever, I am really really excited for this and sad too as I can’t make to the event..

But, do lemme know if you need any help, support or co-ordination…..If not me someone very close to me is the king of UP (at least now)… 🙂

Thanks Amit sir! Rather than terming it as ‘Tech Meet’ I would love to describe it as an informal Coffee Meet of Rodinhooders, and Entrepreneurs from Lucknow! Lucknow is growing like anything, and there are some amazing daring and creative entrepreneurs in the city, who would love to connect and know each other. Sure sir, I will let you know if there is any requirement.. if you are in Lucknow, please, join us! Would greatly appreciate if you can give a shoutout and connect other Entrepreneurs, Writers, Marketers, Programmers and Dreamers from Lucknow to have a coffee with us 🙂

Thanks a lot!
