Theme: Disha - Reversing Your Compass

Disha - Reversing your compass is about exploring the unexplored and discovering the possibilities it can hold.

We have been all been told to find our own sense of direction in life, but what does it really mean? What does it mean to turn the concept around and uncover something new?

From the spirit of creativity to taking risks, from discovering different perspectives to chartering the uncharted courses in life- the theme encompasses everything.

We learn, unlearn and relearn.
With this, we hope to spark new conversations and ignite brilliant ideas!
