Capturing Innovation at Sangam 2025
IIT Madras Alumni Association | Taj Hotel, Bangalore
As a cameraman at Sangam 2025, I got more than footage. I got fuel for my creative soul.
What Made Sangam 2025 So Powerful
Organized by the IIT Madras Alumni Association, Sangam 2025 brought together pioneers in AI, startups, and innovation at the elegant Taj Hotel in Bangalore. The atmosphere? A blend of brilliance, bold thinking, and boundary-pushing discussions.
Every speaker wasn’t just sharing wins—they were challenging the present, designing the future. AI was the core theme—touching industries like healthcare, fintech, agriculture, and creative arts.
Moments I Captured That Made Me Pause
- Keynote: "AI is not the future—it’s the now." That line echoed across the room and stuck with me.
- Funding Launch: IIT Madras unveiled new funding programs for student & alumni startups. A massive push for Indian innovation.
- Unicorn Builders: I filmed alumni who turned their garage ideas into global companies. Pure goosebumps!
- Networking Magic: Even coffee breaks felt like TED Talks. The level of conversation was next-level.

What the Future Holds
Attending Sangam 2025 didn’t just fill my SD card—it filled my mind. As I walked away from the Taj that evening, I wasn’t thinking about camera angles or lens settings—I was thinking about ideas, breakthroughs, and how I could grow into this world of innovation.
