When 20-year-old Nitika Khaitan, an undergraduate at Yale, majoring in the Humanities, began her research of culture trends in Indian metro, she found the subject of the spoken word, and the way it is performed using a variety of mediums, interesting. She came to Mumbai for a month-long internship with Godrej India Culture Lab where she has been researching performance poetry forms. It was during Parmesh Shahani's (Head, Godrej India Culture Lab) four-month residency at Yale that Khaitan heard of the work the Lab has been doing.
