One million applicants. Seven seats. Then what?

Seven young people from across India fight their way into IIT, only to find that getting in was the easier part. The filmmaker, an IIT alumnus himself, spent seven years with them, from their first semester to the third year of their careers.

Decades after graduating, Gautam Sonti recognised in these students the same pressure he had once felt: a system that measures everything and nurtures very little. TechnoCats is his attempt at a conversation across generations.

The screening will be followed by a discussion between Gautam Sonti, Tara Rao and Aunohita Mojumdar, before opening to audience questions.
