Josh Talks is coming to Ahmedabad in association with Facebook.The day-long conference cuts across genres, bringing you a wide narrative on India. We dive into history, exploring India’s 2600-yr tradition of coins; see how Shyam Bedekar’s remarkable invention is enabling him and his wife to create social impact across India and beyond; experience a young woman’s drive to bring textbook science theories to life for children; and take a journey to the dark depths of coal mining and its bitter consequences for our own people.

Uplifting stories and thought-provoking experiences come together to take you on a roller coaster journey of ideas.

It's traveled India and been translated into multiple languages.
