Our first Launchpad in Delhi showed us something important: NGOs don’t just want tools, they want hands-on support with a community of peers to learn and grow with. With strong results from that cohort, we’re now 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 have been thinking about automating repeated conversations or want to run programs faster and at scale through WhatsApp then Glific Launchpad is for you.

 Dates & Location: 27-28th November, Mumbai

Deadline to apply: 5th November 2025

Why Launchpad?

Launchpad is designed in a way to help you quickly prototype your ideas on the chatbot. In just two days, NGOs went from ideas on paper to running their first chatbot flows. Those who were part of the previous cohort in mid-September and are now gearing up for their pilots.

Here are what participants said about the Launchpad:

Encouraged by this success, we’re hosting the next Launchpad this November with an even bigger cohort and stronger focus on AI.
