In 2010 Anil Dharker created Literature Live! as a way to bring the written word to life. This culminated in our annual festival by the sea - Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest. Now, over a decade and a half later, the movement has grown to embrace monthly Evenings that focus on launches and conversations, 360@Campus designed to introduce college students to the love of reading and writing, the annual Anil Dharker Literature Live! Independence Lecture during which a thought-leader re-imagines the India to come, and even The Little Festival aimed to make books are a lot of fun for children.


Literature Live! is a year long celebration of books and ideas.
