Highlights from the Grand Indian Hyperconnect Session
On April 4, 2026, German Bharatham ran another Hyperconnect — the virtual speed-networking event that’s become one of the more reliable ways Indians across Germany bump into each other. The timing wasn’t ideal (long weekend, most people had plans), but that’s also kind of a filter. The people who showed up were the ones who actually wanted to be there.
Hosted by Ramakrishnan Pandiarajan, founder of German Bharatham, the session brought together students, working professionals, and job seekers from across Germany — some fresh off the flight, some who’ve been here a few years.
How It Works
The format is lifted from speed dating, and that’s the point. Everyone gets thrown into randomized breakout rooms for five minutes, talks to whoever they land with, and then gets shuffled again. Three or four rounds in, you’ve met most of the room. It’s less awkward than it sounds.
The idea: if you’re job hunting, looking for housing, need advice on life in Germany, or just want to talk to other Indians — you’ll find someone useful. LinkedIn profiles of all attendees get shared after the session so everyone can stay in touch.
The Session
Introductions went around before the breakout rounds started. A quick look at who was there:
- Ramakrishnan Pandiarajan — PhD in life sciences from LMU Munich, now a scientist in Düsseldorf. Started German Bharatham while he was still at Helmholtz Center Munich.
- Prerit Batra — finished his bachelor’s at TUM, currently back in Delhi, moving to Munich the following week to start his master’s.
- Athul T K — final semester of his TUM master’s, running an internship alongside it, actively looking for full-time work.
- N. Jewison Jacob — just out of college, worked a year in civil engineering and BIM, heading to TUM for his master’s in the summer semester.
- Kasi Raj R — moved to Germany about two and a half years ago from Tamil Nadu, came for work.
- Hema Sagar — arrived in October, working as an IT auditor at a tech company.
- Revanth Coimbatore Varadarajan — came in 2020, master’s in biomedical engineering from TUM, now a quality engineer at a medical device company in Forsheim.
- Pratyush Shukla — noted, almost as an aside, that Munich was about to hit 21°C for the first time all year. The week before, it had been snowing.
- Jobish Jo, Aiswarya M P, Aziya A, Deepakkumar S, Muhammed Harif Noushad also joined.
Then the breakout rounds. Five minutes per room, back to the main call, another shuffle. That’s the whole format — and it works.
