​🚀 Dev Days Mumbai: Agent-Driven Engineering & Copilot in Action

​Join us for GitHub Dev Days Mumbai hosted at the Paytm Office! We're bringing together developers, maintainers, and community leaders for a high-impact, builder-first day diving deep into autonomous AI agents, developer tooling, and modern software architectures.

​From multi-agent orchestration and self-prompting systems to hands-on workflows taking issues from backlog to merge with the GitHub Copilot App & CLI, this edition is packed with deep dives and actionable learnings.

​🤝 Ecosystem Partner

​A massive thank you to Paytm for powering this community edition and hosting us at their Mumbai office!

​📅 Agenda

​10:00 AM

​Agent-Driven Development: Navigating the GitHub Copilot App Cockpit

​Speaker: Augustine Correa (GitHub Star ⭐)

​Learn how GitHub Copilot App enables agent-driven development workflows directly from GitHub. We'll follow a real feature request from issue creation through implementation, review, and pull request completion.

​10:30 AM

​One Interface, Infinite Agents: Using Copilot with Omnigen

​Speaker: Anas Khan (SDE @ Microsoft)

​The AI coding ecosystem is rapidly expanding with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and new agent harnesses appearing regularly. Each comes with different w

​In this session, Anas will introduce Omnigent, an open-source meta-harness that allows developers to work across multiple coding agents through a unified interface. Learn how to maintain context across tools, switch between agents without starting from scratch, and make better use of the coding assistants you already have access to.

​11:05 AM

​You Shouldn't Prompt GitHub Copilot Agent, You Should Make a System to Prompt Itself

​Speaker: Pratik Pathak (Microsoft Certified Trainer)

​Developers often spend significant time acting as the bridge between tools and AI systems, manually collecting logs, stack traces, and diagnostics. This session explores **Closed-Loop Agentic Architecture** and **Context Engineering**, demonstrating how GitHub Copilot can use feedback from compilers, tests, and diagnostics to iteratively improve its own output, reducing manual intervention and prompt fatigue.

​11.45 AM

​☕ Coffee & Community Networking Break

​12.10 PM

​AI Initiatives at Paytm

​Speaker: Ami Ganjawalla (VP @ Paytm)

​12:25 PM

​Your Server-Rendered App Doesn't Know Who It's Talking To

​Speaker: Anshul Bansal (Principal Engineer @ OLX India)

​When 75% of React SSR traffic is AI crawlers, search engines, and scrapers, rendering faster isn’t enough. Learn traffic-aware SSR patterns and differential bot/human caching strategies that cut a production Node fleet by roughly 80%

​1:15 PM

​Copilot in the Classroom: Adopt Fast, Govern Faster

​Speaker: Ahlam Shakeel Ahmed (Educator @MH Saboo Siddik)

​AI adoption in education is moving quickly, but governance often lags behind. This session focuses on practical frameworks for evaluating AI systems in educational institutions, including transparency, bias, accountability, and stakeholder engagement. Attendees will leave with tools to help make informed AI adoption decisions for schools, universities, and learning organizations.

​1.30 PM

​Careers at Paytm: Meet, Ask & Explore

​Speaker: Rohini Joshi (Sr Tech Lead) & Deepak Nayak (HR, Paytm)

​1.40 PM

​🥪 Lunch & Community Networking Break

​2:30 PM

​🛠️ Workshop: From Backlog Issue to Merged PR with GitHub Copilot & CLI

​Proctors: Augustine Correa + Pankaj Gupta [GitHub Campus Expert]

​Hands-on live engineering workflow: taking a real issue, dispatching background agents in sandboxes, generating tests, iterating on diffs, and driving a pull request to a verified merge.

​Participants will work through a real development workflow:

​✅ Understanding a codebase with Copilot

​✅ Picking up and refining backlog items

​✅ Collaborating with AI agents

​✅ Generating code, tests, and documentation

​✅ Reviewing changes and creating pull requests

​✅ Applying agentic development techniques to real projects

​This workshop is designed to help you move from experimentation to practical adoption of AI-assisted software development.

​4.00PM

​Swag Distribution

​4.15 PM

​Door closes

​💻 What to Bring

• ​Your Laptop & Charger (for the afternoon hands-on session).

• ​Git and your favorite editor [VS Code 🙂] installed and configured.

• ​Access to GitHub Copilot (Free, Pro, or Enterprise).

​🎟️ Security & Entry Guidelines

• ​RSVP Required: Space is strictly capped to the venue seating limit.

• ​Government ID: Please carry a physical Govt-issued ID for Paytm building security check-in at the visitor reception desk.

​## 🌟 Why Attend?

​Whether you're new to GitHub Copilot or already using AI daily, Dev Days Mumbai will show how modern developers are evolving from AI-assisted coding to agent-assisted software delivery.

​

​Disclaimer: this event utilizes AI credits. While the workshops can be completed with Copilot Free, it will take up a large amount of those credits, so ensure you're preserving where makes sense knowing you'll be attending this event
