TEDxSomaiyaVidyavihar

As a member of the TEDx Somaiya Vidyavihar 2018 Core Team, I have taken the role to curate its second edition scheduled in March 2018. Curation of speakers and attendees is a function of multiple factors and is the Key Success Factor (KSF) for a TEDx event. Deciding the theme, searching for ideas and stories, selection of speakers, discussing and collaborating with speakers on content and eventually helping deliver the message in the right way to the audience through these measures (amongst many others) of curation is what our team of curators does. Theme of this 2018 edition is “At a Crossroads”.

We, as a civilization, stand at a very crucial juncture that will decide the future for generations to come. It is at junctions like these that ideas take shape and kickstart the transition to a better future. Innovative and groundbreaking solutions do not emerge on plain sailing paths, but on paths that are inundated with difficulties and challenges. The theme not only focuses on an individual’s decision but also encompasses a broader perspective. 

Through our platform at TEDxSomaiyaVidyavihar, we aim to share ideas that have had far reaching effects and inspire the audience to cultivate novel thinking.
