Name: OpenSearch Paris Meetup - 22 Janvier
Start: 2026-01-22T18:00:00.000Z
Location: Tour Carpe Diem

We’re excited to announce the **first OpenSearch Project Meetup in 2026** in **Namma Bengaluru**! 🎉

Join us for an engaging session where we’ll dive deep into the world of **search, observability, security, Agentic Search, and AI agents** — and discover how OpenSearch is powering modern applications.

Whether you’re a developer, student, or tech enthusiast, this meetup is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and exchange ideas.

📢 **Agenda & Speakers:**

**10.30 - 10.50: Welcome note by Priyanshi Omer**

**10.50 - 11.10: Keynote by Sandeep Lati**

**11.10- 11.40 : Semantic search in OpenSearch by Divya Sriram**

**11.40-12.00: Break**

**12:00-12.30: When Logs Fail in Production by Isha Bhardwaj**

**12.30-1.00: Implementing RAG with OpenSearch by Akshat Mahla**

**1.00-1.20: Quiz**

**1.20- 1.50: Lunch & Networking**

**Talks**:

**1\. Semantic Search in Opensearch**

Speaker: [Divya Sriram](https://www.linkedin.com/in/divya-sriram-739a4528/) \- Lead Engineer at IBM

What if your search engine could understand what users *mean*, not just what they type? This talk breaks down how OpenSearch powers semantic search using vector embeddings and ANN algorithms like HNSW and IVF. You’ll learn how dense and sparse vectors work, when to use each, and how to design scalable semantic search systems with the right trade-offs.

**2\. When Logs Fail in Production \- what Teams Overlook \(And how to Fix It\)**

Speaker: [Isha Bhardwaj](https://www.linkedin.com/in/isha-bhardwaj-520016266/) \- Software Enginneer at Randoli

Logs often explain what happened—but not why. This talk explores common logging pitfalls in production systems and how better log design, controlled cardinality, and log–trace correlation in OpenSearch can dramatically improve incident response and system understanding.

**3\. Implementing RAG with OpenSearch**

Speaker: [Akshat Mahla](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akshatmahla/) \- Software Developer at IBM

Ever wondered how to make LLMs answer using *your* data? This talk dives into building RAG pipelines with OpenSearch, using hybrid search (BM25 + vectors) to retrieve the right context from enterprise data—so your AI stays accurate, grounded, and reliable.

📅 Date: Jan 10, 2026

🕚 Time: 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM
📍 Location: IBM INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED
Embassy Tech Village, Outer Ring Rd, near New Horizon College, Devarabisanahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560103

**Note: Please bring a valid government ID for entry**
