02. Code of Conduct
PyCon India 2025 is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants, regardless of their background, experience, or identity. Our Code of Conduct (CoC) is designed to ensure a safe and respectful conference experience for everyone. This transparency report documents CoC-related incidents and outlines the actions taken by the organizing team.
The full CoC policy is available at in.pycon.org/2025/coc/policy.
Reporting Channels
In-person through the volunteers.
Directly to CoC committee members
Via email at coc@in.pycon.org
CoC Response Team
The CoC committee was active throughout all four days of the conference, including workshops and the dev sprint.
03. Incidents
Reports received: 0
No Code of Conduct violations or incident reports were received during PyCon India 2025 — including the workshop day, both conference days, and the dev sprint.
Context
We consider zero incidents a positive reflection of the community's commitment to respectful conduct, not a sign of under-reporting. The CoC team was visible and approachable throughout the event. Attendees were informed of reporting channels in the opening session, the programme guide, and via signage at the venue.
If you experienced or witnessed something at PyCon India 2025 that you did not report at the time, you are still encouraged to reach out to coc@in.pycon.org. All reports are handled with care and confidentiality.

04. Accessibility & Child Care
Accessibility
PyCon India 2025 continued the accessibility initiatives introduced in 2024. All recorded talks were captioned to assist participants in following content in their preferred format. Sessions included visual aids and adapted illustrations to make technical concepts more accessible and engaging.
Quiet rooms were available for attendees who needed a break from the busy conference environment.
Child Care
Building on the 2024 pilot, on-site child care services were again offered at no charge to attendees. The service was staffed by trained professionals from a certified agency and included age-appropriate activities and dedicated rest areas.
Feedback from 2024 was incorporated to improve scheduling clarity and the sign-up process. We continue to invite suggestions from the community to strengthen this offering in future editions.
