About US
UNMUTE THE FEST is a youth-first experiential festival that brings mental health conversations out of the shadows and into the open through music, art, creativity, play, wellness and community. This is built around the belief that young people don’t need another lecture about mental health — they need spaces where they can express, connect, decompress, create, and simply be themselves. UNMUTE transforms awareness into a lived, communal experience.The festival brings together live music, spoken word, interactive art, games, wellness experiences, and meaningful conversations across a vibrant festival environment designed specifically for a young India. At its heart, UNMUTE addresses a simple but powerful reality: young India is talking, but much of the conversation remains private. UNMUTE creates a safe, non-clinical, and culturally relevant space where those conversations can become visible, collective, and actionable. The result is not a conventional awareness campaign or a traditional music festival. UNMUTE is a cultural movement disguised as a festival — using the things young people naturally gravitate towards to open conversations they often struggle to have. Expression over suppression. Connection over isolation. Conversation over silence. Community over stigma. UNMUTE THE FEST -It’s okay to be vocal about it Our Mission To make the unsaid, said. Unmute creates spaces where conversations that are often kept silent can finally be heard. Through engaging, experiential experiences, we make mental health accessible, relatable, and stigma-free, encouraging self-expression, connection, and help-seeking. Because it’s okay to be loud about it. Our Vision To create a generation where talking about mental health is the norm, not the exception. A generation that feels free to say the things they usually keep inside. Where conversations around mental health are open, honest, and free of shame. Where people understand their emotions, know when to ask for help, and feel confident supporting themselves and each other. A world where no one feels they have to stay silent about how they feel.
The Management School of Events and Experience Design, is a youth-first institute that brings the business of events, media and experience design out of the classroom and into the industry — through live projects, mentorship, creative practice and real access. Built around the belief that young people don't need another degree that stops at theory, they need a space where they can create, produce, fail, rebuild and actually work, MSEED turns education into a lived, industry-connected experience. The institute brings together academic rigour, industry mentorship, live events, global exposure and career support across a campus environment designed specifically for the next generation of Indian creative leaders. At its heart, MSEED addresses a simple but powerful reality: India's creative and events industry is growing fast, but formal, credible training for it barely exists. MSEED creates a university-affiliated, industry-built space where ambition can become a career. Across the institute, students move through distinct experiences, from live projects and internships to global dual-degree pathways, mentorship from the creators of BMP, WOW Awards, Social Nation, and Bryan Adams' India Tour, and 100% placement support. Each part offers a different way to build skill, network and confidence. The result is not a conventional business school or a standard media course. MSEED is an industry disguised as an institute, using real events, real mentors and real access to teach what a classroom alone cannot. MSEED stands for: Ownership over instruction. Practice over theory. Access over ambition alone. Leadership over employment. Located at Bhavan's College, Andheri West, and affiliated to Mumbai University, MSEED creates a credible, industry-anchored environment for students who want to lead in events, media and experience design. MSEED, because sometimes the first step towards a career is simply getting the access. (See more at:https://www.mseededucation.com)
