Mar 30: Creating cultural impact by engaging with students through students and bridging brands with the pulse of the youth, Under25, India’s leading youth network, has achieved a significant milestone. Its flagship IP, Summit At Campus (SAC) hosted its 200th SAC becoming the largest youth festival that has helped bring students together through on-campus edutainment and cultural experiences. Celebrating this milestone, actor extraordinaire Avinash Tiwary joined the students of REVA University in Bangalore.
Avinash Tiwary came to promote his upcoming film Ginny Weds Sunny 2. The minute he entered the campus, the actor felt the palpable energy of the students take him in. As his new film is a romantic comedy, Tiwary believes that college is the best place to find love stories. This was Avinash’s second SAC, and the actor felt the warmth extended by the students. The love for his character Qais from Laila Majnu became the highlight of the evening. He suggested that students must be given autonomy, and the college and authorities should become facilitators, supporting them to become what they want in their future.
Along with this, the actor also provided some words of wisdom to students:
The actor kept it real with students, saying, “You are enough for everything you desire. I’ve always believed love is the biggest void, but it’s important to remember that while characters like Qais may not have dreams or direction, we do. So make sure you are creating an impact and building something that matters.”
Talking about the importance of self awareness, Avinash Tiwary said, “The most critical thing for me is self-awareness. Really knowing yourself and seeing how far you’ve come. As an actor, every audition and every film can make you feel like you are not enough, like you need to be something more or something extra. But self-awareness has taught me that I am enough, so when you walk into a room, you have to believe that you are exactly who they are looking for. Everyone sitting here must believe in your conviction that you are enough for everything you desire.
Speaking about his upcoming film, Avinash Tiwary said, “With Ginny Weds Sunny 2, while there’s love and entertainment at its core, it’s also about family. We’ve somehow lost the habit of going to the theatres together as a family, and that’s something I truly miss. I hope this film becomes a reason for people to come back, sit together, and experience cinema as one. It’s time we bring families back to the movies.”
While talking about the 200 SACs milestone, Jeel Gandhi, CEO, Under25, said, “Reaching our 200th Summit At Campus is a massive milestone for the entire Under25 team, and it really shows the incredible energy we’ve seen from students across the country. From day one, our mission has been to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world aspiration, and seeing this vision come to life 200 times over is incredibly rewarding. Having Avinash Tiwary join us for this special 5th season edition is perfect because he represents the kind of persistence and craft that we want every young creator in our network to celebrate. And moments like these remind us why backing young voices will always be at the heart of what we do, and that when students are trusted to take charge, they can build something far bigger than we imagine.”
From 7 Summits in three cities in 2024 to completing 200 summits in 2026, Under25 has transformed an experiment into a nationwide youth movement. The SAC scaled by reaching more than 1.2 million students and expanded its presence across 36 cities in India. From creators like Dolly Singh, Rida Tharana, and Nagma Mirajkar to actors like Sanya Malhotra, Pulkit Samrat, and Pratibha Ranta, the SACs turn campuses into spaces where students create, perform, and build real experiences for their peers.
The growth of Under25’s Summit At Campus reflects a rising demand for student-led, experience-driven events that go beyond traditional college fests. SAC is uniquely helping brands by creating their presence at the very campuses where youth cultures are being shaped. This edition proved to be a significant move to continue its commitment to making students a part of shaping culture. SACs are helping transform classrooms into labs for creativity and community through authentic and real-time engagement between students, brands, and creators.
