After getting favorable outcome from the consecutive events of FoxYeah Campaign held in various cities of North India, the hindmost event of this campaign was conducted at 91, SpringBoard, Gurgaon ( Delhi NCR), on 5th July, 2015.

Like the previous events also, the Mozillian Reps, Ajay Kumar and Anup Mishra sprang up the event with the basic introduction to Mozilla Firefox, Open Source Community, Mozilla projects and FoxYeah Campaign. Unlike the preceding events, where the audience was from diversified backgrounds ranging from students to housewives, this event had specific group of audience belonging to the student community of the capital city.

Moreover, a huge section of Delhites( residents of Delhi and NCR) are active users of internet. This city has been flourishing in the field of technology for the past few decades.
