Each keynote can be delivered as a 25-minute plenary, a 45-minute keynote, or a half-day masterclass.
Keynote 01

How he can be booked.
Before
A talk built for your room
A short call to understand the audience, the moment and what you need them to leave with. The keynote is adapted not repeated.
Assets
Everything your team needs
High-resolution photographs, approved biographies at three lengths, a one-line introduction for the host, and technical requirements.
After
Something that lasts
Where relevant, a talk can be paired with a Kalam Centre or Homi Lab programme for your institution. So, the visit leaves capability behind, not just applause.
