ESCAPE THE ORDINARY

I still remember the exact moment when the idea of organizing this TEDx at MRIIRS struck me. It wasn’t during a big event or a grand ceremony… I am a person who genuinely believes embracing extraordinary. It actually happened during a casual conversation over tea with a few colleagues. We were talking about how students today are bursting with ideas, talent, and questions but don’t always find the right platform . That thought stayed with me. I kept wondering — why not bring TEDx here? And here we are—hosting TEDxMRIIRS, a global platform at MRIIRS…with the theme that goes around my mind “Escape the Ordinary” Of course, it wasn’t an easy road — from applying for the license to building a team, to aligning with TEDx guidelines — but every challenge became a stepping stone because I truly believed in the purpose: to give our community a platform where ideas meet courage.
