According to the secretary of the UAE Amchigele Samaj, Shailesh Shenoy, “they have been organizing Children’s Talent Day for the past two years. But this year they thought of bringing forth the talents of adults as well. To add spice to the show the concept of children anchoring the entire show was introduced for the first time that enabled the children to display this talent of theirs.”
Subash Shanbhogue the President of the Samaj welcomed the audience. Aruna Kamath then briefed the audience on the concept of the program and its competitions under different categories. The judges were then introduced to the audience by Shailesh Shenoy, the Secretary of the Samaj.

Srikant Mallya, Sudarshan Hegde, Veena Shanbhogue, Veena Pai, Satyanath Bhat, Ajit Nayak, Vasudeo Kamath and Anand Shanbag had the entire audience holding their sides and laughing.
