About Meet Magento 2025 India
For the very first time, Meet Magento India found its home in Pune, hosting a two-day extravaganza. Day 1 was all about networking and sharing insights. Sponsors showcased their expertise, products, and capabilities to the attendees, creating an environment buzzing with ideas and collaboration.
At Navigate Commerce, our team had the opportunity to dive into amazing conversations covering topics like “What is Hyvä?”, “How Hyvä is transforming Magento performance?”, and “What Navigate Commerce is all about.” We were thrilled to share space with Magento Association and Mini Orange, Hyvä, Luro Connect creating lasting impressions throughout the day.
The evening wrapped up with a pre-party, generously sponsored by Vatsal Shah, a board member of Magento Association. It was a night filled with laughter, fun, delicious food, and cherished moments—a perfect setup for an exciting Day 2.
Day 2: The Action Begins
The second day began with the vibrant beats of a traditional “Punechi Dhol”, where attendees, including international guests, danced with enthusiasm. The event was inaugurated by J P Singh from Wagento, who delivered an inspiring message emphasizing the strength of India’s Magento developer community:
- “Do good code.”
- “Take care of your clients.”
This simple yet powerful advice resonated deeply with everyone.
Commerce Beyond Code
One of the most thought-provoking sessions came from Vatsal Shah, who emphasized the importance of looking beyond just development. As solution providers and tech integrators, we must focus on end-to-end implementations and prioritize client success. A truly valuable reminder for all attendees. The message was deeply conveyed "Good is not good enough when you can do better."
Mathias’s Message to Magento Open Source
“Magento is alive, and so is our community!” said Mathias, emphasizing the need to support Magento Open Source in ways that empower merchants to stay competitive. His insights on revitalizing community participation and strengthening Magento’s foundation left the audience inspired. Yes, we need to embrace it.
PayPal’s Contribution
As the headline sponsor, PayPal showcased their Fast Lane solutions, offering shoppers a seamless checkout experience. They also introduced their new PayPal Ecosystem Partner Model, opening doors for collaboration. Team members Rohit, Abid, and Anish presented this with enthusiasm, leaving attendees eager to explore new opportunities.
What Happened at Navigate Commerce’s Booth at Day 2?
At our booth, we engaged in exciting conversations with attendees, many of whom were curious about Hyvä’s capabilities and Navigate Commerce’s services. Our interactive “Spin for Commerce Growth” game and Swag Chocolates were a hit! Plus, our Stress Balls—perfect for "coding stress relief"—added a playful element.
