​GFF week puts the whole industry in one building. It doesn't put them in one conversation.

​So we're doing the opposite of a conference party. One table at Trèsind, twenty seats, and an evening built around the meal rather than a programme. Invite only.

​Who's at the table
CXOs from India's banks, insurers, NBFCs and fintechs. Twenty people, every name curated individually by hosts.

​Our guest: Boman Irani

​He was a waiter. Then a photographer selling pictures of school cricket matches for twenty rupees. He moved to screen acting at forty. He directed his first film at sixty-five.

​Somewhere in between: over a hundred films, a Filmfare, two IIFAs, and a production house he launched by cancelling the party and flying in an Oscar-winning screenwriter to teach 280 writers for six hours instead.

​He's joining us for an informal conversation over dinner about the long way round — and what it takes to start something new when everyone assumes you're done starting things.

​What happens
Dinner, and the conversation that comes with it. Introductions through the evening, so you leave having met the people you most needed to meet.

​Co-hosted by Smallest.ai with AWS at Trèsind, BKC. By invitation.
