SAI International Education Group honoured the enduring legacy of its visionary founder, Dr. Bijaya Kumar Sahoo, by welcoming renowned author, mythologist and former cultural diplomat Shri Amish Tripathi as the keynote speaker for the third installation of the Founder’s Memorial Talk. Known for his bestselling Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra Series, Tripathi captivated over 5,000 attendees, including students, parents, and educators, with his profound reflections and dynamic perspective on Indian mythology, culture, and the values of resilience paired with modern ideals, hit the heartstrings of the attendees, and synchronized with Dr. Sahoo’s vision for holistic learning.

In a heartfelt address, Tripathi shared insights on finding inspiration in India’s heritage and the importance of staying grounded in one’s roots while embracing personal aspirations. His engaging rapport fostered a vibrant Q&A session with students, during which he offered thoughtful guidance on self-discovery, leadership, and the balance between ambition and humility.

Mr. Amish Tripathi reflected, “‘Finding success in a truly dharmic way and understanding one’s purpose and integrity is beyond just religious boundaries. The Four Bodhs—Wisdom, Compassion, Strength, and Justice, (particularly shedding light on Swayambodh) —blends both Western ideas and Indian values offering a universal pursuit of truth.", striking a chord for all SAIoneers and the venerated attendees, parents and dignitaries. He further added, "Odia heritage, deeply rooted in the rich history of Kalinga and celebrated through traditions like the Bali Yatra, keeps us connected to our roots and identity. Embrace this legacy with purpose—it’s a strength worth honouring. That's why, while countless civilizations have risen and faded, India’s vibrant legacy endures, standing the test of time." 

The Founder’s Memorial Talk, featuring Amish Tripathi, marked the culmination of the annual Memorial Series, a heartfelt tribute to Dr. Bijaya Sahoo’s vision of fostering meaningful connections and joy-driven learning among students, families, and educators.
