And now here’s reason for more. Our 10 speakers are ready with their awesome topics. Proof that Ignite Mumbai is going to be one hell of an experience.

Mumbai and You
Based on the project called ‘Dsplaced’ that explores people’s relationships with the cities they live in. On how you start to realize that the city engrains its own essence in you. And the cities speak to you. Don’t just live in your city. Listen to it.

10. Ralston D’Souza

Words spell Sword
A presentation that will revolve around the sheer beauty of words and images. How words, when rearranged, mean something very different. Ambigrams, palindromes, anagrams, subliminal messages in images and an entire section dedicated to my favourite comic of all time, Benny Hill.
