Soumya Sathe

Foodie, Musician, Student

Hey! I'm Soumya and I'm thrilled to be a part of the TEDx community as a student. I believe in the power of ideas and want to make a change in the world. I enjoy biology, math, and French, and want to be an educator when I grow older. I have trained in Carnatic classical music for the past 8 years, and hope that music will always be an integral part of my life.

Biology and music. To me, biology is life (literally) and the day I cease to appreciate the utter complexity and interconnectedness of the human body will be the day that pigs fly (given that we do not genetically modify them to do so). Music is something that has populated my life since I was a child. It has taught me that human relationships can manifest through a simple tune and no-one is ever truly lonely. I hope I can spread joy through my music.

I'm incredibly fortunate that I took the initiative to organize a TEDx event with my friends at such a young age (I'm 16). I have made mistakes on the way, but have learnt that this is simply the start of my story - not the end. I hope to organize more TEDx events at university and post it because I believe that there will always be ideas worth spreading (and I will get better at finding and bringing them to the TEDx stage)!
