The Bangalore sun was doing its best to test everyone's commitment, but 44 #nonprofits from across India showed up with questions, experiences and enough curiosity to power the Bangalore Creative Circus, the venue as part of our Dasra Rebuild collab. We spent the day exploring tech as a function of people, processes, products and culture; ran a hands-on budgeting lab on planning for operational and programmatic technology; and unpacked what to do when AI sounds very convincing and very wrong. Questions about technology where there are no communication towers. Concerns about clicking the wrong button and having to start over. Language barriers during data collection. The challenge of investing limited tech budgets in long-term solutions instead of quick fixes were some of the pertinent conversation topics. Participants used the space to voice long standing tech frustrations. Others came to discover community-vetted tools, rethink change management or learn from past technology missteps. All of them brought perspectives that reminded us that technology adoption is rarely about the technology alone. As customary, here is a quick peek into a day that makes these gatherings worthwhile.
