A recap of the last 30 days @ UnboxingBLR
NCPA @ The Park
For the first time ever, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Mumbai, along with UnboxingBLR and Bangalore International Centre brought NCPA@ThePark to Bengaluru. The two-day performances featured Western classical music by the Symphony Orchestra of India, soulful spoken word by UnErase Poetry, captivating Odissi dance by Deesha, and evergreen classics by Darren Das & The Sixth Sense. Relive the highlights here and here.
Love, Sex, and Algorithms
We explored modern relationships and how easy access to the Internet influences love, sex, and romance, with a panel discussion at the Bangalore International Centre. The discussion saw the panellists sharing personal experiences, dating mishaps, and do’s and don'ts. The session ended with audience members chiming in with pertinent opinions and questions. Find a recap of the event here.

Pub Quiz - Bengaluru Unboxed
PRCAI (Public Relations Consultants Association of India), UnboxingBLR, and quiz partner QShala joined forces to organize a pub quiz based on the book ‘Unboxing Bengaluru: The City of New Beginnings.’ Twelve teams from various PR and Communications agencies across the city battled it out, showcasing their knowledge of the city. In line with the comedic-turned-competitive air, the audience and supporters of the teams (some even having brought signs and banners) were actively involved. See how it all went down here.
The Seen and the Unseen
Our Co-founder, Malini Goyal, was recently featured on The Seen and the Unseen, a podcast hosted by Amit Varma. In the episode, they discussed the changing state of journalism, Malini’s journey, and the art of capturing the essence of a city.
