My TEDx journey began when I attended TEDxSRMKattankulathur as an audience member in 2019. The experience was truly inspiring, and it opened my eyes to the power of ideas worth sharing. From there, I watched countless TED talks online, each one fueling my desire to make a difference and contribute to the world in a meaningful way. Finally, in 2022, I was given the opportunity to organize my very own TEDx event during my postgraduate studies. It was an incredible experience to bring together speakers from diverse backgrounds and see their ideas come to life on stage. Obtaining the TEDx license was a proud moment for me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have shared inspiring ideas with my community.
