A philatelic gathering was held in Bengaluru on 11 February 2026, bringing together eleven philatelists for an engaging and informative session centred around various aspects of philately. The gathering served as a platform for collectors and enthusiasts to exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas related to the hobby.
The event witnessed insightful presentations and discussions by noted philatelists including Ravi Vora, Chaitanya Dev, Samik Nandi, Varun Khanna, Kiran Natarajan, and Piyush Khaitan. The talks covered a broad range of philatelic themes and encouraged interactive discussions among participants.
The gathering also provided an opportunity for attendees to network and strengthen connections within the philatelic community. Such informal yet knowledge-driven meetings continue to play an important role in promoting philately and encouraging greater participation among collectors.
A few among the eleven participants are also members of the Air Mail Society India Foundation (AMSI) and actively contributed to the discussions and interactions throughout the session.
