Oct 26–27, 2026  |   Bangalore  |   ₹5,000 + taxes   |   Applications close Sept 25, 2026
The Problem

Your team already uses WhatsApp. But is it helping you scale?

Messages go out. Responses come in. Follow-ups get missed. Important conversations get buried.

Every unanswered message is a missed intervention. Every missed intervention is impact delayed.

Glific turns WhatsApp into a structured channel for reaching, engaging and supporting the people your programme serves.

Human-led outreach hits capacity limits before reaching every beneficiary.

The Solution

Why Launchpad?

Launchpad is where your team gets hands-on with Glific for the first time. In just two days, NGOs go from ideas on paper to a working chatbot flow, running on their own WhatsApp number.

Our Launchpad cohorts in Delhi, Mumbai, and most recently Virtual showed us something consistent: NGOs don’t just want tools, they want hands-on support and a community of peers to learn and grow with. With strong results from each of those cohorts, we’re back with the next Glific Launchpad, designed to help NGOs quickly adopt WhatsApp chatbots for their programs and connect with others on the same journey. If you’ve been thinking about automating repeated conversations, or want to run programs faster and at scale through WhatsApp, Glific Launchpad is for you.

“Reach your beneficiaries where they are, when they need.”
