**Greetings from Dehradun! I am Ashutosh Kandpal, a maverick in the realms of Corporate Training, Microsoft Certified Consulting, and Technology Consulting. A self-taught programmer, I fervently champion the cause where technology meets community to forge impactful change.

My path has been anything but ordinary:

I’ve pioneered the exploration of off-the-beaten-path treks, scaling the lesser-known peaks.

I launched an Agri-Tech venture, planting seeds of innovation to cultivate empowerment among farmers.

My heart beats for social good, having partnered with visionary NGOs to confront and conquer real-world challenges.

I am a staunch advocate for cloud-native technologies, believing they have the alchemy to transmute our future.

My gratitude extends to educational behemoths like EdX, Coursera, and the CNCF open-source community, whose efforts democratize learning, reaching even the most secluded corners of our globe.

As the organizer of CNCG Dehradun, I weave together tech enthusiasts to spark further innovation.**
