Prabhakar (PJ) Jayakumar, DigitalOcean's India Country Manager, reflects on the company's first year in the country, highlighting memorable highlights from engaging with India's growing developer community. This past fall, DigitalOcean organized a "Product-a-thon" contest to identify top student engineers and ran its Hacktoberfest initiative, partnering with IndiaStack for their first-ever hackathon around the Aadhaar Auth API. The company has hosted two editions of its signature Tide Conference, expanded DO Meetups across six cities, added monthly webinars from industry experts, and facilitated workshops, hackathons, and coding contests across India. DigitalOcean is proud to have customers such as NoBroker.in, Betaout, KartRocket, and HackerRank, and looks forward to continuing to empower developers and software companies in the year ahead.
