‘The Bespoke Show’ was organised at DSBA on May 11, 2019 between 11 am and 1 pm, at the IV floor hall, B Block.
The emcee, Ms Shalini Rout from 3rd year BBA welcomed Ms. Asha Sampath and Mr. Sid Baliga, the Panelists, Dr [Brig] Sandes, Principal; Dr Veena K N, Dean; Prof Nikitha Sreekantha, HOD and DSBA students.
Bespoke is defined as something that is “custom-made”. The Bespoke Show (TBS) is an initiative conceptualized to live up to this dictionary definition. It is neither a “me too” inspirational talk nor is it a platform to share larger than life personal stories. TBS is a forum for candid discussion on topics of interest covering conventional and non-conventional sectors; mainstream and offbeat careers; art and literature; media and entertainment; and even international affairs.
A video showing the glimpse of TBSs that were recently held and are planned was shown to the audience.
