Founders, Investors, AI & the Future of Storytelling | Bay Area Networking + Barbareek Screening
What happens when an Indian startup puts AI at the heart of how it works and then brings that ambition to the big screen?
Join STAGE for an evening with the San Francisco Bay Area’s founders, builders and startup community: meaningful conversations over hi-tea, a fireside chat with an Indian founder, and a special screening of *Barbareek: The Story of Becoming Khatu Shyam, an AI film.
STAGE is an Indian storytelling platform whose journey has been the subject of a Harvard Business School case study. It is among the top 1% of organisations globally in integrating AI into the workplace.
Come to meet people building what’s next, exchange ideas on bringing AI into the workplace, and experience a different kind of storytelling on the big screen.
