The salon kicked off at 5pm with a soulful performance by singer and INK Fellow Joi Barua. He was followed by Abhijit Bose, CEO of Ezetap who gave a talk on how India will progress in leaps in the field of digitization, with the support of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi – very timely!

Glenn Chickering, Head of Upper School at the Green School in Bali, followed – he spoke at length about the sustainable practices followed at his school and gave interesting accounts of his students’ efforts to maintain them.

Carrying forward the girl power, we had Sheelika Ravishankar from Team Indus on stage next where she talked about their team’s dream mission to the Moon, as the winner of Google Lunar XPrize Milestone prize. People will have the option to send their names to the moon on a cube on board INDI, the Team Indus Rover!
Amuleek Singh, CEO of Chai Point, ended the salon with a talk on his journey and the success story of his chai enterprise.
The event came to a musical close with Joi stirring the crowd with a great set of his hits, once more.
