Welcome to the home of the largest tech professionals' community in Chennai. GDG Chennai is a volunteer-driven community building a technology ecosystem in Chennai. Home to some of the successful individuals, startups and communities in and around Chennai. We're not just a community. We're an ecosystem enabling people to find their tech calling. We create networking opportunities and learning experiences for the community.

Started in 2010 as GTUG (Google Technologies User Group) Chennai by young professionals who wanted to promote the community culture and make Chennai the next technology hub. We're also one of the oldest GTUGs/GDGs in the world. Over the years, we have hosted meetups, conferences, workshops, study jams, and hackathons with the idea that everyone should get the opportunity to learn from each other, express their thoughts, build together and contribute back to the community.

For students

GDGs on Campus provide learning opportunities for aspiring developers from universities and colleges. After graduating, GDGs on Campus members can seamlessly transition to a broader GDG community, continuing their learning and collaboration with fellow developers. Find a GDG on Campus near you to get involved. If you want to start a new on-campus chapter, follow this link - https://gdg.advocu.com/

For women

Women Techmakers (WTM) is an ecosystem of engaged professionals advocating for greater gender diversity in tech worldwide through community, visibility, and resources. WTM has merged with Technovation, a global nonprofit focused on making technology education more accessible and equitable.

WTM Chennai still operates as an exclusive community in Chennai. WTM ambassadors work with us to increase women's participation at our meetups and host exclusive meetups. Reach out to us for details about WTM activities and get involved.
