Follow Your Dot – Surviving a Kidnapping, Plane Crash & Life at Gunpoint

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.

● A deeply personal story of survival and transformation

● Practical insights on finding purpose in adversity

● Connection over canapés and drinks
