As a team, this was our first official outing. We attended the India Inclusion Summit 2015 organized at Park Ridge, Bangalore. It was one of the most inspiring, heartwarming and eye opening events that we have attended where a lot of taboos were broken, myths busted to the core, and lessons learnt in simple, quick and short anecdotes from the speakers.
Right from the beautiful and charismatic anchors Ms Deepa Narasimhan to the bold and funny speaker Mr Ajit Babu not a single moment was in vain. Mrs Uma Tuli Madam of Amar Jyoti is perhaps one of the pioneers of an inclusive society and it was indeed a proud moment to interact with her.
Mr. Patu Keswani of Lemon Tree Hotels and Mr. Bhavesh Chandubhai of Sunrise candles rightly made us learn the lesson of how disability is in no way a hindrance for a person to earn a dignified job and living for themselves, and what more even feed their family. Mr. Bhavesh with his couplets in Hindi had people clapping and cheering every few minutes. What an inspirational speech it was!!!
The young lady Ms. Kalyani Khona who was chasing entrepreneurial dreams was inspiration for many to dust their dreams of startup and start it now and today! Way to go lady!
And the star attraction of the day Mr. Ramesh Arvind or should I say it was the duo of Mr. Ashwin Karthik and his hilarious talk show with Mr. Ramesh. If that was funny, then the cute duet between Mr. Ramesh Arvind and Ms. Deepa had received quite a few whistles. The day had made us interact with many stars!! A start studded day in the literal sense of it.
I can perhaps go on and on. There were too many memories, many learnings. But let me end it with thanking the brain behind IIS – Mr. Feroze. You are an inspiration for the world of inclusion!!
