A weekly round-up of everything that transpires in the Kreaverse

A Round-up of the Kreaverse

It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating Convocation 2024 — a day filled with joy, hope, and dreams taking flight. Young minds stepped forward, ready to embrace the unknown and carve their place in the world. And now, almost a year later, we find ourselves here again — preparing to bid farewell to yet another extraordinary cohort.

Our aspiring Kreators, who once walked in with curiosity and ambition, are now stepping out as confident changemakers, ready to leave their mark. Convocation 2025 is set to take place on 14 June 2025 at The Music Academy, Chennai. We hope each of you, who’ve been part of their story in some way, will join us to honour their big moment.
