The second edition of the Udaipur Leapday LitFest, conducted by IIM Udaipur, is all set to dazzle the City of Lakes on the 28th of February.

The Udaipur Leap day LitFest 2014 will have speakers from the fields of literature, art and music sharing their views and interacting with the audience on the theme ‘An Odyssey of Expressions’.

The list of speakers includes luminaries like Chetan Mahajan- CEO of HCL Learning Ltd and author of ‘The Bad Boys of Bokaro Jail’, Nikhil Sachan- playwright and author of the best-selling book of short stories ‘Namak Swadanusar’, Vidya Rao- a leading exponent of the delicate style of thumri-dadra singing; and Sidharth- a well-known artist, painter, sculptor, film maker and writer.

The inaugural edition of the event last year was a resounding success with Rashmi Bansal, Ashwin Sanghi and Rajiv G Menon as the participating speakers and this year’s event promises to be broader in scope, bigger in scale and wider in participation.

The audience for the event will not be limited to just students and staff from IIM but will also have students and literary enthusiasts from all over Rajasthan and nearby states. The entire Fest will be broadcast Live over the Internet through YouTube.
