Operation COVID-19: A message to the SaaS ecosystem by Girish Mathrubootham (CEO, Freshworks)

Code of Conduct

By being part of the SaaSBOOMi community, you agree to abide by and support this Code of Conduct. It applies equally to delegates, sponsors, event crew, speakers, volunteers and any other officially associated personnel.

Be patient and courteous. This community is run by volunteers and founders, who are passionate about supporting the SaaS ecosystem in India. Be patient and courteous to them.

Be inclusive. We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, color, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.

Be considerate. We all depend on each other to produce the best work we can as a community. Your decisions will impact your peers, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions.  

Be respectful. We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behavior. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration to become personal attacks. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.  

Choose your words carefully. Always conduct yourself professionally, during in-person events and on the digital platforms. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Harassment and exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: - Threats of violence. - Discriminatory jokes and language. - Sharing sexually explicit or violent material via electronic devices or other means. - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms. - Unwelcome sexual attention. - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.  

Our differences can be our strengths. We can find strength in diversity. Different people have different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that we all make mistakes, and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.

Respect the confidential part of the sessions. Founders open up their playbooks in some sessions. Conversations on the floor of a conference may involve people openly sharing sensitive information about their companies. Please do not share this information on social media.
