Lucid Lines Productions

Lucid Lines is an independent intellectual properties company based in Gurgaon, led by award-winning journalist Shoma Chaudhury. We are passionate about the power of ideas and conversation. Informed dialogue, discovery, debate. Spaces that invigorate minds. Challenge perspectives. Move hearts. Bridge divides. In a hyper-polarised world, we seek to create middle ground. Space for intelligent connection. We create myriad platforms: international conferences, festivals, salons, pop-up platforms, digital series. We work across the board to disrupt ideological, cultural, political silos. Our canvas ranges from urgently public to intimately personal. From the biggest contemporary questions to individual stories. Frontline minds and boundary shifters. Politics to tech. Economics to environment. Sexuality to sports. Entertainment to art. We are interested in every facet of the human experience. At Lucid Lines, we seek to connect disparate worlds. Expand democratic space. Deepen public discourse. Our key platforms include IGNITION, an exciting, eclectic, live pop-up platform that celebrates the power of people. Maps fascinating canvases of creativity, courage, and challenge. And explores keys to different worlds. More recently, we debuted SYNAPSE, a first-of-its-kind science tech society conference bringing together global genius to discuss, debate, diagnose the new 'hand of god' reshaping our lives. And its ethics, impact, and implications. From jobs to genes to geopolitics. The 2024 edition saw 40 cutting-edge minds and 1300+ influential audience members. Visually rich, factually strong, our platforms are an alternate form of journalism.
