01
Knowledge sharing
Learn, mentor and grow within the Salesforce and wider tech ecosystem.
About us
One Punjab. One Force.
A volunteer-run community for Salesforce and tech professionals. Rooted in Punjabi culture and values, open to everyone from any faith or background.
Who we are
A community built on seva.
Punjabiforce started with a simple idea: the people who have already made their way in tech can make the path easier for the people coming next. We are professionals who give our time freely to share what we know, open doors where we can, and celebrate the culture that shaped us.
We run in-person meetups, virtual sessions, panels and mentoring, all free to attend. Everything we do is led by the community: the topics, the speakers and the conversations come from the people in the room.
Our mission is to uplift professionals globally, share our experience and knowledge, celebrate culture while embracing diversity, and show that when one of us rises, we all rise together.
What we stand for
Empower, uplift and connect.
02
Network
Build meaningful, lasting connections with professionals around the world.
03
Culture and diversity
Celebrate all things Punjabi and the values of unity, seva (selfless service) and resilience.
04
Career advancement
Support each other through certifications, projects, new roles and the step into leadership.
Why we exist
A space for honest conversations.
Tech professionals need somewhere to talk openly about the things that really shape their careers, including the topics that are usually left unsaid: pay, progression, confidence, culture at work, and how AI is changing our roles. Punjabiforce exists to be that space. It is open to all, free of judgement, and set by the community rather than the industry script.
Who we are here for
Wherever you are in your career.
We focus first on the people who gain most from a community behind them, and welcome everyone else who wants to learn, give back or connect.
Graduates and early-career professionals
Industry guidance, CV and LinkedIn reviews, interview preparation and your first steps into the Salesforce and tech ecosystem.
Mid-career professionals
Certifications, bigger projects and the move into lead, consultant and architect roles, with peers who have done it before.
Career changers and returners
Moving into tech from another field, returning after a break, or rethinking your path as AI reshapes roles across the industry.
Senior professionals and leaders
Give back as a mentor, speaker or advisor, and join leadership conversations with people who share your background and values.
Sound like you? Find your place in the community. It's free.
Where we are heading
Our north star for 2027.
By 2027, we want Punjabiforce to be the trusted community tech professionals turn to for mentoring, career advancement and momentum, whether they are starting out or changing direction. A knowledgeable, diverse community built on equality, belonging, culture and seva.
- Mentoring programme. Pairing people with mentors who fit, whether they are new to tech or moving within it.
- Mentorship clinics. Focused one-hour sessions with a mentor on a specific challenge, lighter than a full programme for both sides.
- Regular events. Quarterly in-person meetups, virtual sessions and podcast conversations that keep the community connected.
- A growing team. More Community Ambassadors, so the community is shaped and run by many hands.
