About Event

Lights, laddoos & lovely people!

Diwali is about coming home, and for many of us Berlin is home now. So let's celebrate the way we grew up doing it: with family, friends, too many sweets, and songs everyone knows the words to.

The ChaiSamosaNetwork (CSN) community is bringing together 50+ Indian founders, their families & friends for an evening of lights, food, music, and good conversations. Bring your partner, your kids, your parents visiting from India, or that friend who's always asking what Diwali is all about. Everyone's welcome! 🎉
