I’m back from Thekkady, Kerala after spending four days at Cerebrate in the company of inspiring folks at the Club Mahindra Tusker Trails resort. The event is in it’s third year and for those who don’t know about Cerebrate, here are some links…

Modelled along the lines of TED, Cerebrate has evolved over the years and in true democratic fashion we’ve incorporated feedback of the previous events to improve and mould future events.

As usual, this year the participants were eclectic from different fields and that only enriched the experience. Talks ranged from story telling art, video conferencing, social media, celebrity management, advertising, rural marketing, event management, entrepreneurship, wildlife etc.

One of the participants, Anusha Mahesh in her earlier stint was the project manager behind installing the first ever Internet access in aircrafts!
