# Chennai’s Pint of View brings lectures to bars and cafes 2026-08-13T01:46:44+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Chennai now has its own Pint of View (POV), a community lecture series held in bars and cafes twice a month. Neuroscientist Samyuktha Anand and entrepreneur Barkavi Mageshkumaar launched the chapter in November 2025 after being inspired by a similar setup in Bengaluru. Sessions cover STEM, business, finance, and culture, with speakers designing activities to reinforce learning. About 20% of attendees are regulars, and 70-80% are aged 25 to 35. Lectures are in English, with Tamil available on request. The next talk, on August 23, explores why MF Husain painted horses and feminist art history. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: adult education, Chennai, community learning, Pint of View, public lectures Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/chennais-pint-of-view-brings-lectures-to-bars-and-cafes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
