Google Cloud Community Days - 2025

 

🌤️ A Day Full of Cloud, Code & Chai – My Experience at Google Cloud Community Days 2025

Date: 29th June 2025
Venue: Atmiya University, Rajkot
Hosted by: Google Developer Groups


Despite setting an alarm for 7:00 AM, destiny had different plans—I woke up at 8:22 AM 😅. With a rush of adrenaline, I got ready by 8:50 AM, signed my exit pass at 8:59 AM, and quickly booked a Rapido ride to Atmiya University, the buzzing venue for Google Cloud Community Days 2025.






🎟️ Registration & Welcome

Upon reaching, I headed straight to the registration desk where I was warmly welcomed, and a band was tied on my wrist. That simple gesture made the excitement real. The day officially kicked off with a common session where Google Developers and AI experts shared insights, stories, and the roadmap ahead for the world of tech.



🍱 Networking + Lunch (1 PM – 2 PM)

By 1 PM, we moved into the networking and lunch session—a golden hour to talk tech, share visions, and connect with passionate students and professionals from different domains. The food was good, but the conversations were better.


💻 Workshops (2 PM – 4 PM)

After lunch, it was time to dive deep. There were 4 parallel workshops, and choosing one was a real struggle! Here were the mind-blowing sessions:

  1. Intro to Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
    by Harsh Manvar Sir (GDE)

  2. Building the Next Wave: Agentic AI with Google ADK & MCP
    by Abhishek Sharma Sir (GDE)

  3. The Invisible Co-Founder: How to Launch and Run a Startup with an AI Agent
    by Parth Devariya Sir (Founder & CEO, GFuture Tech)

  4. Build Your Social Media Brain: Content Creation with Google ADK Agents
    by Geeta Kakrani Ma'am (GDE)

Each session was insightful, practical, and packed with takeaways that will shape our AI journey ahead.


Chai Pe Charcha & New Connections

Post workshops, we all gathered for "Chai Pe Charcha", where the aroma of tea and the spirit of discussion brewed together. During this session, I had the pleasure of meeting new people from my own university
Ms. Angel Oza
Mr. Rohan Roy
Mr. Bhavik Sony

It’s always a great feeling to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts from your own campus.


🧠 Quiz Time & Tech Chaos 😄

Next, we all assembled in the auditorium for a quiz round. Honestly, it turned into a comedy show 😅—the quiz website kept lagging and crashing, giving us all a mix of frustration and fun! But that made it memorable—we laughed, we struggled, and we competed.


🎁 Swag Time! 🎉

No tech event is complete without swag! We received:

  • A cool T-shirt

  • A Mousepad

  • Some awesome Laptop Stickers

Definitely going to flex these on campus 😎




📸 Wrapping Up with a Smile

Before heading back, all of us—Angel, Rohan, Bhavik, and others I met—clicked a group photo to capture this memorable day. As the sun set, we all headed back to our homes/hostels, tired but fulfilled.


Final Thoughts 💭

Google Cloud Community Days 2025 was not just an event—it was an experience. From technical learnings to fun chaos, new friendships to startup insights, I lived a full chapter in just one day. Can't wait for the next one!
