Yashnita Nambiar
A dynamic young voice from our school, she has continually distinguished herself as a passionate leader, articulate communicator and thinker. From the debating podium to Model UN conferences, she brings sharp insight, glowing confidence and a dedication to youth-led change.
In her talk, she will explore how fresh perspectives can spark meaningful ideas, and how students — empowered with clarity and conviction — can shape the future. Her presence reminds us that ideas don’t only originate from experience, but also from curiosity, courage and the willingness to question.
Mr. Shyam Sunder Paliwal
Padma Shri recipient and pioneer of the “Piplantri Model”, Mr Paliwal turned his small village in Rajasthan into a green, inclusive community by linking the birth of every girl-child with the planting of 111 trees, promoting both gender equity and environmental regeneration.
In his address, he will draw from this extraordinary journey of social innovation and ecological resilience—showing how bold ideas become action and how one person’s vision can meet community energy to produce transformational change. His story is about ideas meeting nature, purpose meeting practice, and empowerment meeting sustainability.
Dr. Rashmi Mantri
Founder of BYITC and a trailblazer in educational innovation, Dr Mantri has built platforms that bridge learning, creativity and technology.
In her talk, she will share how new-age ideas in education can converge with traditional values to craft opportunities for all. She argues that real impact happens when we bring together youthful energy, technological tools and human-centred design to meet the pressing challenges of today’s learners.
Mr. Shantilal Joshi & Mr. Vijay Joshi
Together, they represent the power of collaboration and the meeting of ideas across generations and domains. Vijay Joshi, with a distinguished career in economics and global policy, has helped shape thoughts on development, reform and growth. While Shantilal Joshi brings a grounded, context-specific perspective (details being refined) that roots big ideas into everyday impact.
Their joint presentation will explore how visionary frameworks meet practical realities, how ambition meets responsibility, and how the meeting of diverse minds can yield solutions that are both bold and actionable. They remind us that ideas find life when they meet purpose, structure and community.
