Theme: Unfurl The Sails

With “Unfurl the Sails” as our theme for the year, we wish to capture and spread the ideas that are slowly shaping our world and making it a better place to live in. Winds are like challenges and problems that might not always be in our favour. However, it is upto us to use those challenges as an aid to propel ourselves into the future, just as unfurling the sails moves the ship forward. Encompassing this theme, we hope to acknowledge all ideas which have their basis on problems and lost opportunities and bring them to the fore.
