This is FANTASTIC! I am quite excited about the whole proposition. Wish it were there when I was in college...

So I quickly contacted several of my friends here in Delhi, India and got them many of them interested. Now we have: http://awesomefoundation.in/

Anyone in India/Delhi, who is interested in joining this, hit me up at [email protected]

Are you related to the original Awesome Foundation, or have you just taken the same name?

Not related, but keen on becoming a chapter. Not sure if there are official requirements or it is organic such as BarCamp. (Hoping and assuming it is the latter)

Please do get in touch via the website. We're super flexible on chapters running themselves largely as they'd like (quite similar to Barcamp), but we'd like to officially have you in the loop to be able to provide you with resources and connections to the rest of us.

So you're not connected to them at all, you're not a foundation, and you straight up copied their name?
