Request for Inclusion of Indian Tech Community in Meraki Promotions & Programs

I've been actively following the great initiatives by the Cisco Meraki Community, including the awards, recognition programs, and various contests designed to engage and celebrate community members. These efforts are truly motivating and help foster innovation and knowledge sharing across the global tech ecosystem.

 

However, I noticed that India is currently not listed among the eligible countries for participation in these promotions and programs. Given the vibrant and growing tech community in India — including many dedicated Meraki users, network engineers, and IT professionals — I believe including India could significantly enrich the community and expand its global impact.

 

We would love the opportunity to:

  • Participate in community contests and challenges

  • Be eligible for recognition and awards

  • Engage more deeply with the Meraki ecosystem through official programs

 

India has a large base of talented professionals working with Meraki solutions, and inclusion in these initiatives would be a strong encouragement and recognition of their contributions.

 

I respectfully request the team to consider expanding eligibility criteria to include India in future promotions and community programs.

 

Thank you for all the amazing work, and looking forward to continued collaboration and learning!

Hi @DheerajJoshi thank you for your thoughtful comment and feedback! I'm sorry for the disappointment that our eligibility requirements have caused you! We definitely don't want to exclude anyone, and we welcome the participation of all our members the world over.

 

The Eligible Countries list is set by Cisco to determine which countries we may ship prizes to. Restrictions are based on certain tax and custom requirements that some countries have for importing giveaway items that make it prohibitive to ship there. 

 

You can still participate in the contests and challenges, even though you won't be able to receive a prize. You are also able to qualify for our member recognition and awards (such as Member of the Month) on the Meraki Community. And you are always welcome to connect with our members and team to share your thoughts! 

 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
