G-TALKS(SEASON 1)

THEME

UNCHARTED WATERS

“The danger of venturing into uncharted waters is not nearly as dangerous as staying at the end waiting for your boat to come in.” Challenging as it sounds, sailing into unknown territories in pursuit of success and fulfillment has always proven to be fruitful. Through our theme ‘Uncharted waters’, we hope to discover what it takes to pursue a path however unfamiliar or uncomfortable it may get. Our only goal is to get people to believe that uncharted waters are harmoniously productive, sometimes destructively vicious, but never stagnant. G-TALKS was conducted on 29 September, 2018 .G-TALKS got a phenomenal response from the audience and the spectators. Also got a great appreciation from all the mentors.
