We were thrilled to also feature Mr. Anand Manikutty, a researcher and inventor, who introduced Hesperanto, a new constructed language designed for speed of learning and cross-cultural communication.
In this engaging session in English and Hindi, Anand Manikutty introduces viewers to Esperanto, the international language designed to bring people together. Mr. Anand Manikutty’s talk explores the origins and design of Esperanto as a neutral, logical, and easy-to-learn international language created by L.L. Zamenhof to foster global understanding. He reflects on its strengths—such as regular grammar and cultural neutrality, and mentions a new concept in linguistics, namely, “aayaato”, which can help improve learning and organizational outcomes. Inspired by Esperanto, he has created new constructed languages aimed at promoting unity and accessible communication in multilingual contexts like India, as well as greater community and happiness worldwide.
