The TED story

TEDxIITBHU was the experience of a lifetime. When I joined the TEDxIITBHU organizing team, I was given the post of Corporate Communications Analyst which involved bringing in sponsors and roping in speakers. I was then entrusted with the responsibility of building the TEDx brand & culture in the institution. I came up with some innovative publicity ideas which went a long way in achieving the desired goal. This was the point of inspiration, where I envisaged carrying forward the baton of TEDxIITBHU. Other than this, the whole organizing experience involved meeting new people, following deadlines and maintaining high standards. It instilled a renewed sense of work ethics and creativity. I understood the minute details of managing a major event and learnt from the shortcomings as well. In the end, I was truly happy with the effort and the fact that TEDxIITBHU was successful in introducing the TEDx culture in our college.
