Vesa-Matti ‘Vesku’ Paananen, a well-known Finnish mobile visionary, invited more than 50 mobile innovators to an Irish pub for an informal get-together and a warming drink. After meeting many new faces and discussing the latest in mobility, the group decided to continue the meeting on the first Monday of each month – and MobileMonday was born. The first chapters to start the worldwide phenomenon o
utside of Finland were Tokyo and Silicon Valley in 2004. The MobileMonday Ludhiana chapter is being launched in January 2012. The Helsinki chapter can be found at www.mobilemonday.net. Since its early days, the MoMo network has grown into an extremely influential industry force without shooting for that goal. Instead, its co-founders and industry members simply enjoy the energy which the network has brought to the industry locally and internationally. Today, the MobileMonday community has grown to include 140 chapters worldwide. The Ludhiana chapter can be found at www.momoldh.com and was founded by Preet Chandhoke.
