On November 9, 2024, SAI International Education Group concluded its Founder’s Memorial Series with a keynote address by acclaimed author and mythologist Shri Amish Tripathi. Over 5,000 parents, students, and educators gathered to honor Dr. Bijaya Kumar Sahoo’s enduring legacy, reflecting on his values of compassionate and holistic education.
Amish Tripathi captivated the audience with his reflections on India’s heritage, emphasizing the strength of cultural roots alongside personal aspirations. "True success is dharmic—grounded in integrity beyond religious confines," he remarked, elaborating on the Four Bodhs of Wisdom, Compassion, Strength, and Justice. Tripathi also highlighted Odia heritage, noting how traditions like Bali Yatra connect Indians to their identity and resilience. His address inspired students and led to a dynamic Q&A, where he shared guidance on ambition, humility, and self-discovery.
The event also celebrated winners of the Founder Debate Cup 2024, recognizing SAI’s top young debaters. Dr. Silpi Sahoo, Chairperson of SAI International, reaffirmed the institution’s focus on the "Happiness Quotient" in education, a vision rooted in Dr. Sahoo’s belief in joyful, well-rounded learning. Dr. Sahoo’s legacy continues to shape SAI’s dedication to nurturing future-ready leaders grounded in empathy and purpose.
