FAQs

What is Unstructure?
Unstructure is a platform for business professionals and contemporary thought leaders to discuss and debate action ideas that would aid the evolution of business. Unstructure consists of an annual physical event- Global Meet where everything is viewed with new eyes and curiosity abounds. Where there are no social or organizational hierarchies – each voice is equal; each idea is heard and contributed to. Where the wisdom of the experienced meets the innovation of the young; and both learn from the other. Unstructure is necessary to create businesses which evolve as life-forms do, in nature. Business as a life-form will be achieved when individuals from business engage outside corporate structures to challenge the status quo – and jointly contribute to the process of evolution.
