Smarter Mobility. Better Bengaluru.
Bengaluru'sTalkathon Edition 2026
Open Mind for a Better Tomorrow
A citizen collaboration movement with Government, Industries & Communities — a platform that turns awareness into action on the issues that matter most to Bengaluru.
Talkathon is a platform that turns public awareness into public participation. It brings people together to observe real problems around them, understand their impact, express their views and propose practical solutions through short videos and live conversations.
Unlike a conventional debate or speaking competition, Talkathon begins with reality on the ground. Participants identify an issue, capture what is actually happening, study why it matters and present ideas on how it can be improved.
Through expert juries, public engagement and a live finale, the most meaningful voices and solutions are brought into the spotlight and connected with government, industry, institutions, communities and other stakeholders who can help create change.
Talkathon is built on a simple belief: Awareness creates conversation. Conversation creates ideas. Ideas inspire action.
See the Problem. Speak Your Mind. Suggest a Solution. Inspire Change.
