Camper Swaroop, a speaker participant said that he loves to attend Barcamps as "The space gives me the opportunity to meet passionate people who share a similar interest in topics that I am passionate about. Topics like 'productivity input' are complex with very few followers and therefore Barcamps are an excellent platform to meet the enthusiasts."

SAP Labs believes that two-way discussion forums such as Barcamps are extremely important for nourishing and nurturing the technology ecosystem in India.
