I am eager to join as a co-organizer of Cloud Native Calicut, having actively championed CNCF technologies for the past 6-7 years. Based near Calicut, I’ve witnessed a growing interest in cloud-native technologies within the local community, and I strongly believe that establishing a vibrant community group will help cultivate this enthusiasm and further strengthen the Cloud Native ecosystem in the region.

I had originally submitted a request to create the Cloud Native Calicut chapter on December 14, 2023, but due to a process change and some personal commitments, I unfortunately missed the follow-up communication about resubmitting the request via GitHub. (Date of original submission : 12/14/2023 9:38:21)

Here are some key facts that demonstrate my commitment to CNCF:

• Speaker at KubeCon India 2024: Session Link
• Keynote Speaker at KubeDay India 2023: Session Link
• Speaker at KCD Kerala (Kochi), 2024
• Volunteer for KCD Kerala 2024: Actively collaborating with organizers on event promotion and sponsor outreach to ensure the event's success.

By joining the CNCF Community Groups program, I hope to leverage my experience, network, and passion to build a collaborative and vibrant CNCF community in Calicut. This initiative aligns perfectly with my ongoing commitment to promoting and nurturing the growth of Cloud Native technologies.
