== Kumbhathon ==
To empower the new digital citizens and to serve the underserved population, there are numerous challenges. But, there are multiple prospects for disruption and many multimillion-dollar opportunities. Kumbhathon's goal is to spot and probe such disruptive opportunities and to develop the solutions in collaboration with the available fantastic talent pool. Many problems in India have smart and scalable solutions. Where better to scale these opportunities than at the Kumbh Mela - that is the biggest congregation of humanity. A place where people are already on a journey to discover both themselves and their cultural roots. It is a place of enormous innovation and a lot of that is unrecognized. Indians have a familiar ability to adapt to varying circumstances in seeming chaos but there is a method to the madness. This is where we can bring together the spirit of innovation that percolates and permeates Indian society. We concentrate it, give it a methodology and provide it a structure. Then we have something we call Kumbhathon. It is something tangible, fruitful, and scalable. This is where we can create disruption and create the seed for many multimillion-dollar companies who will serve the citizens and create better lives for the millions who live in our land.
