Chinmayi has been involved with Random Hacks of Kindness since 2012 when she participated in a Global RHoK Weekend event in her home town of Bangalore, India. She has been an absolute whirlwind since then. She took the project that she built with her team that weekend through the Geeks Without Bounds Accelerator Program and built The Bachchao Project from it. She continued to participate in RHoK events and then began to organize them and evangelize the RHoK humanitarian hacking platform to other cities in India and throughout Asia. In order to keep RHoK strong during the period when there was no global coordination team, she helped found RHoK India, a non profit organization that provides guidance and material support to local humanitarian hackathon organizers and facilitators in India.
When Geeks Without Bounds was given the responsibility of caretaking this global community, it was a logic step to ask Chinmayi to join us as the Global RHoK Coordinator.
