In Nov 2019, Shadab started a meetup group by the same name and I (Moses Sam Paul) reached out to him to understand his vision and we met a couple of times at DYU art cafe in Koramangala and we had our first offline meetup and people with similar interest came together to keep the community going. Karthiganesh (KG) joined us as core partner and worked for various initiatives including fellowship, webinars and 30days challenges
From Jan - March 2020 we had conducted a few podcasts and offline meets with IISc professors and Qiskit advocates
Since the pandemic, we've been conducting multiple experiments
1)Theme-based months eg: Cryptography August
2)Apprenticeships - we selected 20 out of 100 applicants. The seed for learning circles was sown here.
3)Hiring focussed Hackathons in collaboration with BosonQPsi - QuantumWinter
4) Fellowships - Free of cost for the November batch
Dec 2020 - Jan 2021 we've consolidated all our learnings, set processes, and in a unique position to grow this community into India's largest Quantum Startup churning incubation center.
