Hi Folks! 

Chronicles of Community Builders is a series of talks where every month, we are highlighting stories of community leaders who are nailing it in the global Community Industry. 

This time we have someone who has been building communities since I was a mere 10-year-old boy. What makes this exciting is that she is a RETRO of Community Folks.

If you haven’t guessed it, it’s none other than “Avani Parekh”. A community leader at heart, she is one of the true OGs of the Indian community industry,

But wait, that’s not all. We have decided to make it one big event by combining our monthly member catchup event “When RETRO Meets METRO” with it.
