Varun Thirtha is a dynamic and engaging 20 year old who believes that one does not need to take drastic measures to change our world for the better- our talents and hobbies have the power to bring about a tandem of change, and spread empowering ripples in every direction, and at all levels. His unique insight into bringing about positive change is deeply refreshing, and gets the audience reflecting on their lives. Author of the bestseller, "Theory of Inner Voices", Varun Thirtha is an orator, a sportsman, a theater artist, but the role that has the deepest place in his heart, is that of a social activist who believes that change is not just a phenomenon, but a way of life. Keenly observant of unjust social ostracization of people, based on gender, race and sexual orientation, Varun is promoting a sense of inclusiveness for all through his unique initiatives that involve drama, art and dance. 'Advaita', one such initiative of his, has started interview training, employment opportunities, and social media platforms for transgenders. But what truly sets him apart is his perpetual message that each one of us can shatter the walls that separate us, with simple, yet powerful weapons such as our own talents.
