What if the most inspiring lessons students learn are not from textbooks, but from people who have dared to follow their passions?With Bangalore Times on Campus, we set out to create a space where young minds can meet, question and connect with people whose journeys go beyond the conventional. The idea is simple: bring inspiring voices from entertainment, art, culture, entrepreneurship and social impact directly to campuses, and give students an opportunity to engage with them in an informal, meaningful conversation.Our first interaction with actor, artist, animal activist and filmmaker Samyukta Hornad at BMS College of Commerce and Management was a fitting start. Her journey — from acting and art to animal care, wildlife conservation and filmmaking — showed students how a passion can evolve, open new doors and become a purpose.For us at Bangalore Times, this is about more than taking a publication into colleges. It is about taking our engagement with young people beyond the printed page, creating experiences that spark curiosity, encourage questions and offer fresh perspectives on careers, creativity and life. The launch of Clock It, our new Gen Z-focused tabloid, alongside this first interaction reinforces our commitment to speaking to young readers in ways that are relevant to them — not just telling their stories, but creating platforms where they can participate in the conversation.Bangalore Times on Campus is our invitation to the next generation: come curious, ask questions, challenge conventions and discover what is possible.Because sometimes, one conversation can open up an entirely new way of looking at the world.
