On a personal level, it was good to know more about Zachery, as we got some decent time to spend and discuss his perspective on various internet of things and life.  I am surely impressed with Zachery’s approach towards life and learning his various life adventures were quite interesting and connecting.

Opening note by Atul Gupta 

Atul Gupta gave some insights about this meetup and state of DG in Delhi NCR region, and how he is working on Salesforce Saturdays and many other initiatives to boost community interactions and collaboration in the city.

Amit Malik on Salesforce Certifications 

It was quite an interesting and eye opening speech by Amit, about Salesforce certifications and Lighting. I liked the part where he stressed to not hunt after dumps, and how to prepare correctly for a certification. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his session, and a good value was delivered here. Thanks Amit !

@amitmalikus Thank you very much for the Awesome session. Everyone is all praises for you 🙂
You are a Rockstar!! pic.twitter.com/TH0NqMsxPf

Mayank Srivastava’s Journey

Mayank dropped us a video message, which highlighted his inspiring journey from a QA engineer to a Salesforce developer, and how he got 11x certified. His journey is surely inspiring to many of those, who are chocked in their carers and willing to make a next move.
