The School of Media and Communications at Shoolini University organized an insightful expert session featuring  Sunaini Guleria Sharma, a renowned ethnomusicologist, singer, and creative director, whose talk deeply resonated with budding media professionals. Centered around authenticity, empathy, and originality, her address urged students to remain true to their creative essence in an era driven by instant fame and digital sensationalism.
