Akhil Gupta at the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival

UEF’s founder joins the Himalayan literary festival held in Khushwant Singh’s name, in the hill town of Kasauli. This year’s theme: Fresh Springs of Himalayan Thought.

The Khushwant Singh Literary Festival has met in Kasauli every autumn since 2012, pairing writers, thinkers, and readers with the mountains the author loved. It calls itself a festival with a purpose, planting trees and honouring the Indian soldier alongside its conversations.

Akhil founded UEF and is the author of Bridges Across Humanity and To Flourish is to Love, Learn, Play. He has been associated with Harvard University since 2015 and serves on the advisory boards of Harvard Divinity School, the Human Flourishing Program, and the Harvard Chan Initiative on Health and Homelessness. Before Harvard he was founder chairman of Blackstone India and held senior roles at Reliance Industries and Hindustan Unilever.

The day, time, and subject of Akhil’s session will appear here once the festival publishes its schedule.
