GitHub is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share their code.
Thomas Dohmke, the CEO of GitHub, which Microsoft owns, is currently in India for a conference. Though it's his first visit to the country as the CEO of Github, he had previously visited India sixteen years ago. He shared a picture from Bengaluru during his 2008 visit and remarked that he ''loves this country.''
''Although this is my first visit as GitHub CEO in India, this is not my first time here. I love this country. This is me in 2008, in Bengaluru — I haven't aged at all. India is at the nexus of monumental economic opportunity, as it is set to become the world's largest developer community at the exact point in time the age of AI is taking off. More from me on this soon. Fair warning: I'll be posting a lot this week. Namaste, India!'' he wrote on X.
