Champions Networking Lunch Meeting
Gandhi Nagar Club, Adyar.
09.11.2025
On November 9th, a group of Champions, along with volunteers and the trustees, met for an informal lunch at the Gandhi Nagar Club, Adyar.
After exchanging pleasantries and a welcome drink, the group assembled to view an audio-visual presentation of the trust’s initiatives beyond the annual award ceremony.
The flagship “Champions Talks “program, where we take the champions to schools and colleges to address the student community, struck a chord in everyone present. That these talks aim to expose the younger generation to the Champions of Chennai movement – a movement that only highlights positivity- was warmly welcomed by all. We are happy that some of the champions came forward to include themselves in this program.
We truly appreciate this gesture.
The Quiz Champions of Chennai 2025 – a quiz competition designed for students of classes 6 to 8 across schools in Chennai was highlighted next. That this program was a big success was evident from the number of schools and the number of students that took part in it. A series of visuals of the enthusiastic students attempting the quiz made for a lighter moment. Again, this exercise aimed to make students aware of the Champions of Chennai by way of story cards given out during the competition, containing brief information about KSA trust and new champions nomination details.
The Chief Guest, handing out prizes to the Quiz winners during our annual ceremony, was the highlight of this program.
Greater Chennai Corporation partnered with Champions Talks :
The Greater Chennai Corporation has partnered with us to extend the Champions Talks to schools under its management. The Corporation identified ten schools for a pilot program, allowing us to reach even more young learners. The very first of these sessions was held at The Chennai Girls’ Higher Secondary School, Nungambakkam, on Friday, 24th October 2025. We are in the process of contacting the schools to host these talks.
– “Champions Corporate Talks!”
This series brings our amazing Champions of Chennai straight into corporate spaces, where they get to share their stories, experiences, and insights with enthusiastic employees.
Our very first Champions Corporate Talk was held at NCompass TechStudio Private Limited in Navalur, Chennai, in September 2025.
Vidya Subramanian, our Champion of Chennai – Education (2022) addressed the young professionals. All in all, it was a fantastic start to a series that promises many more such energising, thought-provoking conversations ahead!
Some of the Champions present have agreed to participate in the Champions Corporate Talks. Thank you for recognising the efficacy of this program.
A few of the Champions spoke briefly about the new initiatives and also suggested ways to bring the Community of Champions closer by way of creating a WhatsApp group. An appeal was also made to include the GCC institutions in North Chennai in our programs. We value your suggestions and will implement them soon.
A light lunch was served and was enjoyed by all.
It was a well-spent afternoon in the company of Champions. The opportunity to network among the champions is something that can help each one present. We appeal to the champions community to participate in greater numbers and take this movement to the next level. We hope to, in the near future, nurture a “CHAMPIONS OF CHENNAI CLUB” along the lines of a Rotary or a Lions Club.
