About Us

Be Inspired is set to change the conversation.

A forum for futurists, Be Inspired was launched in July 2021 by Teamwork Arts, producer of the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival, and in partnership with the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Govt. of India, the United Nations India Office & Science Gallery Bengaluru.

An innovative idea can change the world - this is the foundation behind this series. And every call to action needs a compelling story - Be Inspired is a forum where domain experts and innovators enhance our understanding of the tremendous range of human endeavour unfolding around us. Be Inspired curates dialogues around change that will 'fast-track our future' through innovation in science & technology & bring the goals of sustainability, safety and inclusiveness closer. Each distilled episode gives viewers a glimpse into what human endeavour can do for our shared global future. The series spans innovations in Healthcare, A.I, Science, Agriculture, Economics, Environment, Mobility, Governance, Space Research, Education and more – with technology as its springboard.

We have produced more than 30 sessions online and hosted our first on-ground 'Festival of Ideas' at Dubai Expo 2020 in Feb 2022. Our first on-ground forum in India held on April 15, 2023 at the India International Centre, New Delhi, showcased an exciting programme spanning Healthcare, Education, Artificial Intelligence, Space Travel and Ocean Biodiversity. It was well attended with a robust audience comprising diplomats, policymakers, entrepreneurs, corporates, media, and students and was inaugurated by Prof Ajay K Sood, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Govt. of India. The second on-ground edition in New Delhi is planned for November, 2023 along with our three knowledge partners.
