Follow Your Dot – Surviving a Kidnapping, Plane Crash & Life at Gunpoint
Join us for an eye-opening event where real-life stories of survival will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Some people chase purpose. Others are thrown into it.
In this powerful live talk and book launch, Dr Kaushik Sridhar shares how a philosophy he calls 'Follow Your Dot' helped him survive and make sense of life’s most extreme moments - from being kidnapped by Hezbollah, surviving a near plane crash, and staring down the barrel of a gun three times… to rediscovering purpose, peace, and clarity in the aftermath.
This is not just a story about resilience - it’s about perspective, courage, and what happens when you choose to see every challenge as part of your path.
Join Kaushik for a purposeful, emotive evening of storytelling, reflection, and connection - a safe space where life’s hardest questions meet their most human answers.
What You’ll Experience
● A deeply personal story of survival and transformation
● Practical insights on finding purpose in adversity
● Connection over canapés and conversation
