Flavia Agnes: From victim<br />

to trailblazer<br />

Flavia survived and broke out of<br />

domestic violence back in<br />

1970’s and 80’s, when women<br />

were scared to so much as voice<br />

out their disapproval. In this<br />

moving talk , Flavia talks about<br />

her own tribulations as a victim,<br />

her strength as a women’s right<br />

activist and her liberation as the<br />

founder of Majlis Legal Centre.<br />

She offers hope, support and<br />

sharp legal advice for justice and<br />

empowerment of women.<br />

Devdutt Pattanaik:<br />

Diversity – a garden<br />

or a forest?<br />

Devdutt Pattanaik is a renowned<br />

author, mythologist, and<br />

leadership consultant, whose<br />

work focuses on deriving<br />

management insights from<br />

mythology to reveal a very<br />

Indian approach to modern<br />

business. In this thought<br />

provoking talk, he questions our<br />

understanding of diversity.<br />

Drawing parallels between how<br />

we embrace diverse languages<br />

and conceive ideologies like<br />

polytheism, liberalism and<br />

fascism, Pattanaik’s perspectives<br />

are eye-opening.
