Theme: "SIMPLE IDEAS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE".

This event occurred on

Mangalore, Karnataka

Simple ideas are the ones that sculpt changes. All mansions of success and greatness are built with bricks of simple ideas; ideas that are innovative ; ideas that can be metamorphosed to a geometric progression of creativity. We believe this event would be a lantern to unravel the simple inklings within you, which can be key to the doors of uniqueness. Because "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".
