Flow is the 'Noticeboard' that every college needs. At Flow, we curate the best resources and opportunities in emerging tech and design, thereby building highly engaged communities around designers, developers, and entrepreneurs. Itβs extremely difficult for students coming from tier 2 colleges and cities to access: i) Curated resources for skill development ii) Quality Global career opportunities, iii) A supportive peer group. βFlow has been the missing news source. I believe that access to opportunities is the biggest service to people who are willing to put in the required work, but more often than not we seldom have the information or community to support. Flow bridges this gap.β - Saurabh, one of the Flow'er. Flow stands for the values, that the current scenario around education and knowledge sharing has failed to propagate. - The values of Collaboration over competition, - Sharing and growing with others, - Inter-Disciplinary exchange of thoughts, ideas, free-will, leading to the holistic development of perspectives of individuals and communities, and collective consciousness. We are a community of misfits, outliers, a highly motivated and ambitious bunch of βDrop-outsβ who are never-settling until we reach the highest summits of our ambitions, for ourselves and the society as a whole. And we will uphold sheer tenacious until our vision of inclusive education and access to opportunities for all, in the remotest part of the world is achieved. Show less
