Dear community,

Milap here from India, I design at eGovernments Foundation. I have been a part of this amazing community for a few years now. I see 37 teams are listed from different countries. I and a few friends of mine thought to initiate open source design bangalore chapter.

**Why Bangalore Chapter?**

- Bengalore has about 35-40% of the software engineers in the country.
- It has the most number of software companies established.
- Also, Bengaluru is the most preferred entrepreneurial Hub in India. Infosys, Wipro, Biocon, Flipkart all started here.
- IT Infrastructure is well established - with plenty of tech parks. The real estate boosted the IT Infrastructure.
- Bangalore has an amazing design communities like IxDA BLR, Dribbble BLR, DesignUP, UXIndia, HashGeek.

@milapbhojak good stuff! 🙂 We could create a “Bangalore” category inside of “Events” that you could use for coordination and communication?
