Berlin / Pune – WeAreDevelopers, one of the world’s fastest-growing communities for tech professionals and AI innovators, today announced its expansion into South Asia. The move brings the platform to India, strengthening global collaboration between talent and companies across continents.

Reaching more than 1.7 million tech professionals annually, WeAreDevelopers has become a global hub for career opportunities, technical knowledge, and large-scale events. In addition to the renowned and upcoming WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe in Berlin, Germany and the WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America in San Jose, California, the company is now setting foot in Bangalore, India—the world’s largest pool of IT talent.

The expansion comes at a crucial moment: while demand for skilled IT professionals continues to rise worldwide, India is home to a rapidly growing developer ecosystem that is projected to have over 10 million developers by 2027. WeAreDevelopers aims to bridge this gap by offering a platform for career growth, knowledge exchange, and international opportunities.

To lead this effort, Vaibhav Patil and Kapil Sharma have been appointed Regional Directors for South Asia. Both bring extensive experience in building tech communities and scaling digital initiatives, and will lead a dedicated team based in Pune.

Wolfgang Platz, founder of Tricentis, Katharo Ventures, and investor in WeAreDevelopers, emphasized the significance:

“India’s developer ecosystem is one of the most dynamic in the world. As the country works toward its ambitious 2047 vision, communities like WeAreDevelopers will play a critical role in fostering talent, knowledge, and global collaboration.”

Sead Ahmetović, CEO and co-founder of WeAreDevelopers, commented:

“Over the past decade, WeAreDevelopers has grown into a truly global community for developers and AI professionals. Expanding to South Asia is a natural step in our mission to connect talent everywhere. India is not only the world’s largest hub of IT talent but also one of the most innovative. I am excited to see the bridges we will build together.”
‍

Naida Vikalo, COO of WeAreDevelopers, added:

“WeAreDevelopers is about empowerment—supporting women in tech, people from diverse backgrounds, and professionals at every stage of their careers. With more than 1,000 global R&D centers and one of the world's highest female STEM graduate rates, India's talent potential is unparalleled. We are excited to announce our first flagship event in India is already being planned for 2026, and look forward to creating experiences that will inspire and connect thousands of tech professionals across the region.”

The company will roll out a series of local content initiatives and will announce 2026 dates for its first flagship conference later this year. Developers and AI professionals in the region can begin connecting with the WeAreDevelopers community today by visiting www.wearedevelopers.com.
