Unsurprisingly, this led to a wide spectrum of contrasting views – from being heralded as an inevitable future, to being poorly perceived positivity and doubtful future. From the audition round 20 students were shortlisted.

Second round was a team debate round in which students debated in teams of 2 members each. Points presented were accepted by the spectators with cheers and claps. Some of the points even made us think about the facts. There was so much talent in the room. Arguments were made and roved. The competition was so interesting with the exchange student's perspective.

Finally 7 students were selected from the team debate and we proudly  share that three students of PGDM Batch (2022-24) named Nitish Parashar, Sundari Tomar and Srishty Srivastava have been selected from the second round to participate in the zonal round of Speak for India.
