My name is Luigi, and mine is Ravi.

We speak to the makers, originators, creators, founders, innovators, doers and can-doers.

The ones who think differently,

you, the ones building our future.

We record our journey as we explore our complex world.

Where the harmony of music is matched by the cacophony of war,

where the connection of individuals means the disconnection of societies,

where time is relative for some and absolute for others.

The past is gone, a relic from which we can learn.

Our journey is a short one, and all that matters is what we do before we reach our destination.

We have taken small steps for man, but must create leaps for humankind.

Our past was built by them,

our present is defined by them,

our future will be designed by us.

“There is really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward—opening up new doors and doing new things—because we’re curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We are always exploring and experimenting. At WED, we call it Imagineering—the blending of creative imagination with technical know-how.”
