Building Communities That Last: The Journey of AWS User Group Kozhikode

Communities are not built overnight. They evolve through people, shared intent, and the willingness to step up when it matters most. The story of AWS User Group Kozhikode is a reflection of exactly that.

Back in 2022–2023, AWS User Group Kozhikode kick-started its journey with its first meetup, and we at AWS User Group Kochi were happy to support the community during its early phase. Like many grassroots initiatives, sustaining momentum requires consistent time, energy, and leadership. Over time, due to bandwidth constraints, the group became inactive, and we weren’t in a position to take it forward ourselves.

AWS Community Day Kochi 2025 — AI/ML Edition: We Did It Again

Winding up 2025 with pride — yes, we did it again.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for AWS Community Day Kochi 2025 – AI/ML Edition. This year marks a special milestone for me — the fifth edition of #acdkochi and seven consecutive years of organizing AWS Community Day events.

Every year, towards the end, we feel that familiar kick to do another round of ACD. This year, we were a bit unsure about whether to announce it — but once we did, we committed to delivering it in style. As always, our goal was to bring a world-class event experience for the Kochi community and raise the bar. I truly hope we lived up to that promise.
