Workshops
A look at the rooms,
and what was said in them.
City of Stars
Can time run backwards? How does the center of our galaxy smell? Do aliens exist, and what would a sunset look like on a planet with two suns?
We are nothing but the cosmos come together to question its own secrets. In my talk City of Stars, together we journey into the known and the unknown, pondering the profound cosmological questions that have captivated humanity for centuries.
This workshop aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 17.
Philosophy 101
Does god exist? Does consciousness? Are we living in a simulation? What would a universe look like where everyone was good?
If you're philosophically inclined but feel your thoughts lack structure, or if you simply want to explore philosophy as an endeavour, Philosophy 101 is a four-session workshop typically conducted over two weekends, moving from an introduction to philosophy to rigorous, guided debates among participants.

Past Recipients
Srushti Desai
Srushti organised my talk at her university, convening between the authorities and collecting over 100 participants at a fairly short notice. She has selflessly helped me and my peers with our initiatives, and we've grown to be really good friends over the years.
Sharanu
Once I gifted him the book Cosmos by Carl Sagan with a note to keep it circulating. A few months later, I received a pic from him, now as an Associate Professor of Physics, passing it on to one of his students.
Rounak Choudhary
He received this award at the Prime Minister's Planetarium for building fun demonstrations, such as DIY hydro rockets using plastic bottles.
Pranjali Arya
Pranjali was highly recommended by the planetarium fo pulling off a life-sized moon colony exhibition before the former ISRO Chief, S Somanath.
Bhavana Reddy
Bhavana was a student in my science communication course at Manipal. When two school students struggled with their tasks, she volunteered, alongside her own work, to help them, exemplifying the selfless spirit essential to science communication.
About Me
My journey as an explorer began in 2018 at MIT, where I delved into the intricacies of Truth through the lens of Physics. However, my thirst for understanding transcended the confines of equations and formulas, leading me to pursue a Philosophy Master’s in 2020 at the University of Glasgow.
Ever since, I have been deeply engaged with Philosophy of Mind and AI. I’m a member of the Association of Mathematical Consciousness Science (AMCS) and have been a Visiting Professor at Manipal Academy of Higher Education.
Further, in 2018, I embarked on a mission in Science Communication to inspire the next generation of curious minds. I’ve delivered over 100 talks, including a TEDx talk, inspiring over 15K students across the planet. Click here to learn more.
Lately, I’ve picked up content creation to get rid of my camera shyness. You can follow me on Instagram, Youtube and Substack via the icons in the footer.
