About this listen

What happens when developer communities are scattered across a dozen different platforms? In this episode, we sit down with Arpan Garg, founder of Commudle, who's on a mission to solve one of the biggest headaches in developer relations: fragmentation. From watching Extreme Machines as a kid to speaking at Google I/O, Arpan's journey is anything but typical. After facing rejection as an electronics engineer, he became the sole developer at a healthcare startup, then dove deep into the Google Developer Group community—where he discovered a massive problem.

The issue? DevRel teams are drowning in chaos. Events on Meetup. Conversations on Discord. Content scattered everywhere.

The result? Lost data, zero insights, and communities that never reach their full potential.

Arpan's solution? Commudle—a centralized platform that brings together events, content, hackathons, and developer profiles into one ecosystem. But here's what makes it different: it's not just another community management tool. It's built around the individual developer, giving them a portable identity that showcases their skills and journey across the ecosystem.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why traditional community platforms fail developer-focused companies
How ML-powered spam filtering keeps communities high-quality
The future of AI in understanding what developers actually want to build
What it takes to build in the competitive DevRel space from New Delhi

Whether you're building developer tools, managing a tech community, or just curious about the future of how developers connect and learn, this episode is packed with insights.

Listen now to discover how one founder is turning community chaos into strategic intelligence.
