Aditya Karkera is a nationally accomplished debater, orator, social entrepreneur, and writer who loves to explore new ideas and systematically dismantle them using a healthy mixture of scepticism and curiosity.

With his written work featured in the Times Of India and the Times Of Israel – among others – and his oral work making ripples on stages across Qatar, he considers himself to be a Clausewitzian perfectionist.
