ABP LIVE, India’s leading digital news platform, successfully hosted the Impact Makers Conclave - East Edition in Kolkata, a landmark event celebrating the visionaries and organisations driving transformation in West Bengal. The conclave, held on August 25, 2025, at Hyatt Regency Kolkata, brought together eminent thought leaders, cultural icons and innovators, spotlighting the state’s ambition, creativity and resilience.
The highlight of the evening was an inspiring keynote address by Devdutt Pattanaik, renowned author and cultural commentator. Drawing from his latest book Escape the Bakasura Trap, Pattanaik explored the intersections of mythology, work-life balance, ambition and sustainable progress, offering thought-provoking insights on how ancient wisdom can guide contemporary leadership, growth and well-being.
Adding to the grandeur of the occasion, Bengal’s celebrated film icons Prosenjit Chatterjee and Koel Mallick engaged in an enriching conversation on the evolution of Bengali cinema, the enduring impact of art in shaping collective identity, and the resilience of Bengal’s creative industries.
The conclave also honoured distinguished impact maker individuals and organisations who continue to create opportunities and drive progress across the state.
The evening concluded on a soulful note with a captivating performance by Sourendro and Soumyojit, Kolkata’s acclaimed musical duo, whose seamless fusion of classical and contemporary music embodied the spirit of harmony between tradition and innovation.
