Hyderabad, November 12, 2026: Symposium, a Hyderabad-based knowledge forum, is set to host its seventh edition titled “The Humanity in Us” on Friday at The Debut, Hitex, Hyderabad, featuring a dialogue on compassion, human dignity, and collective social responsibility.
The event will bring together Sonu Sood, known for his humanitarian work and efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Anshu Gupta, Founder of Goonj and recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, whose initiatives have focused on empathy, dignity, and community participation in social development.
Dialogue to focus on compassion and giving
