Piccolo Events is a dynamic public affairs initiative committed to fostering global unity through the ethos and values of Bharat. With a forward-looking approach, the platform aims to nurture future leaders by shaping their perspectives today — cultivating influence without seeking attention.

Operating under the guidance of its parent body, the Taking India Forward Foundation, Piccolo Events transforms its vision into action through a variety of impactful programs. These include Model United Nations conferences, leadership development series, curated study tours, and meaningful social impact projects. Each initiative is designed to educate, empower, and engage youth in a way that prepares them for responsible global citizenship while remaining rooted in Indian values.

Our Ideology & Impact

Piccolo Events is a pioneering initiative to create a space where young individuals could explore diplomacy, public speaking, critical thinking, and global affairs in an interactive and engaging format. Headquartered in Chandigarh, our organization was founded by two dynamic leaders, J. Omm and Jivtesh S. Grover, who brought together years of experience in the MUN circuit, education, and youth engagement.

ABOUT PICCOLO EVENTS

At Piccolo Events, we believe that today’s conversations shape tomorrow’s world. Established in 2018 in the vibrant city of Chandigarh, Piccolo Events is a premium platform dedicated to organizing transformative Model United Nations (MUN) conferences for students and aspiring diplomats.

Founded by passionate visionaries J. Omm and Jivtesh S. Grover, Piccolo Events was born out of a shared mission to redefine the standards of youth engagement through world-class simulations of international diplomacy.

Whether you're new to the MUN circuit or an experienced delegate, we invite you to explore a platform where every voice is respected, every perspective is valued, and every idea has the potential to inspire change.

Join the Piccolo movement — where diplomacy meets purpose.

WHAT DO WE DO?

At Piccolo Events, we organize meticulously crafted MUN conferences across cities, institutions, and platforms. Our conferences simulate the working of real-world international organizations, including the United Nations, and provide students with the opportunity to role-play as diplomats, tackle pressing global issues, and negotiate constructive solutions.

We pride ourselves on authenticity, integrity, and intellectual challenge embedded in every event. Every Piccolo MUN is not just a conference – it’s an experience that encourages self-discovery, collaboration, and leadership development.
