Independence Dialogues | Aug 15, 2026
An Internet of Value Dialogue Series
Independence Dialogues
Aug 15, 2026 | Bengaluru
Political independence asked who should govern us.
The next question may be: who defines value?
On August 15, 2026, The Internet of Value opens its first public dialogue series in Bengaluru through three conversations across policy, protocols, and story.
This is not a conventional book launch. It is a civic, technical, and cultural conversation about how human time, wellbeing, skill, contribution, and becoming can become visible without reducing people to productivity or price.
Seats will be limited. Paid RSVP links will be sent by email.
Three Dialogues. One Question.
Can India help pioneer the next global language of value?
