The event is back after being stalled for three years, owing to the pandemic. 

The festival’s 2023 edition aims to encourage attendees to cultivate the culture of reading and spread the power of words, both on the ground and through the publication’s digital platforms.

Lit For Life will have over 30 speakers and 17 sessions that are themed around knowledge inclusivity. 

Nirmala Lakshman, director and curator, The Hindu Lit for Life, said, “We are delighted to be back on the ground as a vibrant platform with distinguished, creative minds from India and from across the world to discuss new writing and insights on a variety of subjects and themes. Lit For Life reflects the values of The Hindu — delving deep into issues of contemporary importance with talks, panel discussions and presentations bringing rich insights to all those who attend the festival. Over 10 years, the festival has showcased a wealth of work by some of the finest literary minds.”

Suresh Balakrishna, chief revenue officer, The Hindu Group, added, “Lit for Life is the most loved event in Chennai. We are happy to bring it back with a more tangible experience that we are sure our readers will enjoy and engage.”
