Live in-person events, featuring celebrated and emerging voices from India and the Indian diaspora will be held in New York City over the weekend of November 12th. These energetic, interactive discussions will be complemented by a series of recorded programs that will be exclusively launched on our online platform from November 7th - 11th, 2022.
