Theme: Unveiled

A veil in this context is a metaphor used to cover, conceal or disguise reality. Our biases act like a veil that taints our perception of the world and the people we meet. They cause us to harbor misconceptions and judge situations and people without proper context.
Our theme “Unveiled” discusses the importance of confronting our prejudices to truly understand the unbiased world and look at it
with an untainted view. We hope to bring in a wide array of speakers with experience in reforming society and impacting people positively.
A defining instance of this would be the constant buzz around doctors and the illusion of the life they lead. However, the unfiltered truth is the grueling hours and the constant fight to save lives. Our objective through this theme is to highlight such stories and bring forward the untold versions.

Mr. Rohit Chaudhary

Founder, Vidya Daan

At the age of 20, when he was commissioned into the Indian Army, he was sent to the Kargil conflict area. His main responsibility was to make sure the guns didn't stop shooting. He understood that if the guns stopped blazing, his soldiers would die. But if they continued to fire, someone else would die. After a job change in 2004, he worked for a number of IT services firms before deciding in 2021 to take a carefully thought-out career hiatus and devote himself entirely to philanthropic activity. Rohit Chaudhary has shown many trials of life via the turns in his life, and as a former soldier who changed his career, the countless experiences he has had made him a speaker of quality.
