Youth Samvaad
Breakfast with Changemakers: Youth Voices for Tomorrow

This vibrant Youth Samvaad is a dynamic breakfast conversation that connects rural youth leaders with yatris and established entrepreneurs. It is a space where young changemakers from villages share their aspirations, challenges, and local innovations, while seasoned entrepreneurs from the social sector and beyond share their journeys of impact and success. This intergenerational dialogue sparks mutual learning: rural youth gain inspiration and mentorship, while entrepreneurs and yatris gain a deeper understanding of the ambitions and creativity driving the next generation in rural India. Over a shared table, Youth Samvaad becomes more than a conversation—it becomes a catalyst for collaboration, inspiring new ideas and alliances for youth-led change.
