On a typical evening at a bar, people gather to unwind.

At a Pint of View (PoV) event, they gather to learn.

The Bengaluru-based startup has built a growing community around an unusual proposition: academic lectures delivered in neighbourhood bars.

From bat ecology and neuroscience to history, literature, and art, its events attract hundreds of paying attendees looking to spend an evening engaging with ideas rather than small talk.

Founded in 2025 by Harsh Snehanshu, Shruti Sah, and Meghna Chaudhury, PoV was inspired by the New York-based lecture series Lectures on Tap.
