Tata Institute of Social Sciences organized this conference with the intention of embodying responsibility; where current & future leaders can learn, grow, transform and be a part of an evolving legacy. The purpose to create a synergetic platform like Transcendence 2017 was to explore possibilities, co-create ideas and ‘transcend’ in the space of OD.

Since engage4more has gained leadership in employee engagement business, this was a great opportunity for them to join hands for this project.

The conference started with the inaugural speech and lamp lighting by Prof. Parashuraman (Director – TISS) and Prof. Bino Paul (Dean – TISS) respectively. This was then followed by a welcome performance by the alumni members of TISS.

The conference further gained momentum with corporate honchos and stalwarts from various segments of the industry, taking part in panel discussions and Leader Talk.
