Early Days

The first book launch of ‘Heroes Amongst Us’ was organised at Chandigarh Press Club later in 2019 by Venerable Bkikkhu Sanghasena. Further, Blogger’s Alliance also became the festival partner for Khajuraho Literature Festival.
In March 2020 Bloggers’ Alliance hosted a National Bloggers Summit at Indore Press Club, which was attended by 100+ delegates from pan India. Since the time Bloggers’ Alliance started operating, the community has organised 75+ Twitter chats.
