After having spent hours on video calls chit-chatting with one another, this was the first time many of us would actually meet in person.</p><figure class="nv nw nx ny nz oa ns nt paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="ob oc fj od bh oe"><div class="ns nt po"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*GUBUcyNLET2fQgvVNinQgw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh mb of c" width="700" height="672" loading="lazy" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="og ff oh ns nt oi oj bf b bg z du">Weekly calls on Around!</figcaption></figure><p id="fd9b" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">In the design team, we have folks from all over the country.

Here, we came across some amazing north-Indian food and tons of street food options as well. A restaurant called ‘Urban Turban’ turned out to be a personal favorite.</p></div></div><div class="oa"><div class="ab cb"><div class="lw pq lx pr ly ps cf pt cg pu ci bh"><div class="nv nw nx ny nz
