2015, Goa India

Sep 10 - Sep 12

What gets you out of bed each morning? For some, it is doing what they love, the stuff that gets the heart racing, as days and decades pass by, where the reward is watching an idea come to life. This is a story of persistence and tough choices, and believing in something even if it goes against the grain. The urge to reinvent and challenge ourselves, propels us forward. In the long run, these become defining moments, ‘calling cards’ in their own right for what we’re capable of, given the chance. The 10th Anniversary Edition of Kyoorius Designyatra gives us a window to stories of outcomes, not outputs; not of success but sincerity; not of self-initiation but perseverance, belief and action, as speakers from around the world answer the question – What pumps your heart.
