Bengaluru, November 2026: Under25, a youth network, organised its Summit At Campus (SAC) at BNMIT in Bengaluru, drawing 900 students for a day of cultural and educational activities. The event featured creator and actor Bhuvan Bam, who engaged with students, performed, and discussed his career trajectory.
Bam spoke about his latest project, Dhindora S2, and recounted his journey from YouTube to broader entertainment platforms. He emphasised the importance of evolving as a creator, trusting creative instincts, and experimenting with new formats. Bam credited YouTube for providing him with a platform and audience, but noted that artists should not be dependent on a single medium.
