Hello everyone 👋

I'm pleased to inform that the *Chemical Engineering Forum* now has its presence on _Google Groups_ as well ✨

For those who aren't much familiar with Google Groups, it's a platform just like WhatsApp.

👉 The basic difference is that in case of *WhatsApp* , we have a phone number, and in case of *Google Groups* , we have an email address.

👉 Another difference is that, *Google Groups* is much more secure that *WhatsApp* , because we have the option of not disclosing the email addresses and group members to others. The group members and email IDs are *only visible* to the owner and manager of the mailing list.

Following is the link to the group:

https://groups.google.com/g/chemicalengineeringforum

Requesting you all to please join this group, and *stay active on our WhatsApp group also.*

_Looking forward to encouraging more and more meaningful conversations through our Forum_ 😊

Thank you
Regards
Arya Warunjikar
Co founder - Chemical Engineering Forum
