Kolkata Chapter Launch

Event Highlights:

• Venue & Decoration:  Everyone appreciated the well decorated auditorium , the dining hall , the lush green open lawn in short the complete venue as it has so many natural greens around which goes perfectly with our vegan as well as green theme.
• Anchor: Our anchor Sakyadipa was a last minute addition as the anchor we have appointed first had a medical emergency just the day before the event. I was sceptical but the way she hosted the whole event was beyond my expectations.
• Speakers:
  • Harshad Parekh
  • Dr. Rashmi Menon
  • Abhinav Ubuntu from Kinder’s Bengal
  • Kushal Samaddar from Vegans of Bengal
  • Gautam Karmakar, the oldest vegan in Kolkata (vegan for 36 years)

• Attendance:
  • Auditorium Speech & Q&A Session: 97 attendees
  • Lunch: 115 people (including speakers, panel members and volunteers) enjoyed a pure vegan lunch prepared by Ubuntu. The food received high praise, especially from non-vegetarians.

• Speaker Felicitation:
  Speakers were honoured with vegan uttario from Bengal’s pride Shantiniketan, badges printed with the WVV logo, and flowers.

• Special Arrangements:
  We organized a demo for Harshad Parekh sir’s vegan butter, which was well-received by all the attendees.
