Let's start with a confession: we didn't plan any of this.

We called it GDSC WoW back then—a space where curiosity mattered more than credentials. But institutions change. Labels dissolve. And suddenly, we were left with a choice: let the spark fade, or channel it into something new.

...and wou chose the latter.!

10,000 of you—students, professionals, dreamers scattered across screens and cities joined this journey. You signed up for newsletters, clicked “attend” on events, and trusted us with your time. Even when we hosted just two events under the WoW name, you showed up. Not for certificates or LinkedIn posts, but for the possibility of what this could become.

That's the thing about communities: they're not built on grand gestures. They're built on small, stubborn acts of faith. A Whatsapp message asking for help. A meme shared before and after an event. A quiet “thank you” when no one's watching.

So today, we're just… WoW. No big acronyms. No corporate rules. Just people for the people.

We've underestimated how hard it is to keep a decentralized community alive. But here's what keeps us going: you.

You, who ask, “When's the next event?” even when we're scrambling behind the scenes. You, who post resources in the group chat “just in case someone needs it.” You, who remind us that community isn't about scale, it's about showing up, however you can.

We're not here to “manage” you. We're here to learn from you. This letter isn't a manifesto. It's a handshake. Let's write the next chapter together but slowly, messily, relentlessly.

With gratitude (and a little caffeine).
