Speak Out Loud, set to take place April 24–25 in Downtown Powai, had its curtain-raiser in Mumbai at Brookfield Properties. Notable attendees at the preview event included Sunita Pant Bansal, Pooja Bhatt, and Charu Thapar, who is the executive vice president and head of operations and customer relationship management at Brookfield Properties.

Launching The Ashes Are Warm, a book that reflects on Mahesh Bhatt’s life and journey, was a high point of the evening. Preparation for the forthcoming event is shaped by discussions about the book.

Through its community-driven platform, Speak Out Loud seeks to promote books, arts, and culture. It is organised by Million Angles and moderated by Aloemint.

Downtown Powai maintains its role as a cultural hub through these projects, which encourage community interaction and artistic expression throughout the city.
