Founder and Creative Director of Ferriswheel and the brain behind conceptualizing Worldfest, Ms. Shubhra Bhardwaj said, “Through Worldfest we aim to build a community of enthusiastic travelers who are aware, intrigued and want to go that extra mile to connect with like-minded people everywhere."

"We want Worldfest to be a meeting point for the travelers in India and its neighboring countries to come together and experience the diversities that various countries have to offer, share their ideas and know each other through their culture. The festival takes Globalization to the next level and it is our vision to see every country participate and bring Mumbai/Lavasa on the global map, a place where countries and cultures converge. Further, when any country or city hosts a festival like this, it is looked upon as tourist-friendly, safe destination which has a community outreach. These are all positive signs to the global travel community.”
