Dive into how creators can curate and scale online communities as a key monetisation and engagement lever with Abhishek the chief curator of the Remote Indian Community. Abhishek is the creator of the RemoteIndian project - A vibrant community of more than 1400 members in India, some of whom are working at Doist, Gumroad, Gitlab, Prisma etc. This community enables Indian professionals to help each other navigate, balance and grow in a remote career. Insights from the episode can be translated in context of a specific show, target audience and value to be provided. The idea of normalising remote work in India came after Abhishek found a lot of joy working remotely as a Ruby on Rails developer in 2016. But he also realised that loneliness and lack of information is a big problem in remote work and he thought it would be more fun to solve these unique challenges as a group.

And that's the great part about, , building a community you're scratching your itch, but then you also realize there are so many other, , human needs, which are being fulfilled. [00:00:20] The biggest of which is, , being connected with each other [00:00:23] I wanted to. Take this microphone that I had, and give it now to the community you don't want to be a place where you're the only person holding the microphone. [00:00:32] I want to keep it as open and accessible they might, feel that social debt of sorts to support the community [00:00:38] Naga S: [00:00:38] H ey Abhishek hello and welcome to the passionate people podcast.

We're talking about creators and how they're monetizing in the context of COVID and in, in the spectrum of monetization. I believe that community creation is a very important aspect that a lot of creators either miss out on, or don't think about it in the right way. [00:01:00]The reason I'm excited to be talking to you is because you have successfully, , conceptualized an idea for a community and scaled it to over a thousand members. So I'm really, really looking forward to our conversation. [00:01:13]Abhishek: [00:01:13] Thanks. Thanks for having me, man. [00:01:15] Naga S: [00:01:15] Super. So I think a good place to start would be just to give our listeners a background of who you are and also some background on remote Indian and we'll take it from there. [00:01:24] Abhishek: [00:01:24] I'm a computer science grad passed out in 2010 and started off working in an MNC. This was quite a while back. [00:01:34]I knew that, , this was something which I was always curious about this question, that, okay what is a good life and somewhere,the feeling was that going to an office job and, not having any say in where you could, , work from. I, I felt that wasn't right. [00:01:54] And obviously I am a guy who likes to pursue my curiosities or [00:02:00] pursue my questions very seriously. So, that's how, this whole journey started.
