After a week of hype leading up to the event, hundreds of students from SSE and elsewhere were eagerly lined up outside the Ambedkar Hall, each hoping to secure a seat at the event so they could catch the two immensely popular guest speakers - Andrew Sabu and Sushant Divgikar.
The event started with a performance by Dhruv Uthra and Mayank Saini, from the band Zemira, with a lilting original piece. The band's performance got the crowd energized and ready for the first guest speaker of the afternoon.

Rising independent artist, Andrew Sabu, spoke about his journey as an indie artist, going gig by gig and eventually founding his label named LVNG. He talked about his mission to improve the indie scene in India by using LVNG as a platform to help up and coming indie artists. After talking about his journey, Sabu treated the audience to a few songs from his eponymous debut EP.

Their performance gave way to the flamboyant Sushant Divgikar who spoke about his journey as a model as well as his reckoning with his sexuality in a humorous and engaging talk which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed. The audience was also treated to a beautiful collaboration between Abhigyan from Raaga and Sushant at the end of the latter's talk.
