4 Pillars. One Purpose.
This celebrates the journey of unsung journalists & media professionals. The Bravery Awards honours them.
India has heroes.
The headlines never found.
Presented by Sri Siddhanta Knowledge Foundation in association with SMaRT
The Siddhanta IKS Dialogues brings together India's foremost custodians of Indian Knowledge Systems in conversation with independent digital voices to explore, amplify, and carry the wisdom of Bharatiya civilisational knowledge to a new generation.
From Gurukul to Global —
IKS for the 21st Century.
Guests & Voices
An annual symposium on Law, Justice & the Public Mind, presented by SMaRT
The Justice Dialogues is conceived as an annual public conversation by SMaRT that brings judicial thought out of closed rooms and into a space where it can be heard, questioned, and understood by a wider audience without compromising the dignity or rigour the subject deserves.
It is a considered, public-facing conversation anchored by serious legal minds, but designed for an audience well beyond the legal fraternity.
Guests & Voices
Information is the fifth domain of modern warfare
Domain 05 is the fifth and newest frontier recognised by India's tri-forces and intelligence establishment. The information space is no longer a peripheral concern — it is an active theatre of warfare, influence, and national security.
SMaRT, as a responsible organisation at the heart of India's independent digital media ecosystem, has already taken steps in this direction — conducting workshops on responsible content creation during Operation Sindoor, recognising that what creators publish has consequences that extend far beyond their screens.
The Domain 05 session acknowledges this new reality. It brings together voices from India's uniform services — Army, Intelligence, and related establishments — to address SMaRT's network of independent creators directly.
To build a more responsible and more
prepared digital information force.
