This is such a wonderful initiative! It’s great to see Local Guides India getting a dedicated WhatsApp channel for updates and community news. I’m sure this will help strengthen connections and keep everyone informed in a more direct way.
As a Local Guide from Bangladesh, I would love to see this pilot expand to our region as well. It would be truly helpful and appreciated if Bangladeshi Local Guides could also receive updates and product news via WhatsApp in the future. Looking forward to more exciting developments!
Thanks to @Latika_Malhotra and the team for always working to enhance the community experience!
We hope this feature will also be available in Bangladesh soon. Anyway, that is a great initiative as well. Thanks, @Latika_Malhotra and congratulations to all Indian fellows.

Woah, happy to come across this! 
This is much needed for a more grassroots connection between local guides across our incredible India.
