IDEAS YOU TAKE HOME
World Wisdom Connect is a new monthly gathering from the IIT Alumni Council. Seven people worth hearing, seven short talks, and with every talk, a new book launched on the spot.
The talks run 18 minutes, TED rules, no speeches. The books go home with you; all seven come with the seat. One Sunday, start to finish, at the India Habitat Centre.

Why this exists
Rooms change minds.
Feeds don't.
World Wisdom Connect is built on a simple bet: an idea heard live, from the person who spent years earning it, lands differently. So once a month we fill one room in one city with seven such people, seven new books, and an audience worth talking to. The talks are filmed and kept. The books travel home. The room does the rest.
Delhi is Edition One. Mumbai is next. Same format, new city, every month, under the World Wisdom Forum, on the IIT Alumni Council platform.
The programme
Every talk runs 18 minutes, TED rules, and ends with the unveiling of the book it belongs to. Seven across the day.
