Описание: #IIITB #IIITBangalore #Confluence #Symposium #Talks

Speaker:
Mr. Anup Gupta: Anup Gupta is a serial entrepreneur, educator, and mentor working at the intersection of learning, technology, and student mindset. He is the founder of MathonGo, Quizrr, and MARKS-platforms used by lakhs of students preparing for high-stakes competitive exams in India. Over the last decade, he has worked closely with students, parents, and educators, witnessing not just academic pressure but the deeper struggles around self- worth, comparison, and identity in a performance-driven world.
Through his work, Anup has seen how success, failure, and digital validation shape how young people see themselves-often creating a gap between external achievement and internal confidence. His talks draw from real experiences of building in public, mentoring at scale, and navigating self-doubt behind visible success, focusing on reclaiming agency, authenticity, and long-term growth beyond metrics.

Theme: “Mirror Glitch”
In a world of selfies, stories, and avatars, we often see more of our digital selves than our real ones. Mirror Glitch explores the tension between curated identities and authentic selfhood. It reflects how performance, filters, and online presence shape how we perceive ourselves — and how others perceive us.
This theme encourages introspection on issues like imposter syndrome, mental health, and the quiet struggles behind the screens. It’s not about disconnecting from the digital world, but about engaging with it more consciously. Vulnerable yet empowering, Mirror Glitch invites honest storytelling and celebrates the courage it takes to be real.
