Bio

From past to present, It has been a long journey with diversity that words aren't deemed to explain. So accompanying you through a journey of self-interest and "non-self"-monotony, I would like to introduce myself as a cockroach. I would be pleased if "hygiene" is not the idea that comes to your head instantaneously. I have been told that I am adaptive to situations. i dont know whether I have a knack for difference or I get bored easily, but its true. Having given you a brief idea about me, here is my work. I have worked as a Marketing Manager for corporate relations for 6 culfests, 2 TEDx and 3 conferences. I have been instrumental as a student representative of India via JENESYS in the prefecture of Wakayama. I am currently working on 3 more conferences for Marketing and Publicity. Business development and industry linkage have been my areas of interest since long.

I'm passionate about

My thoughts. I truly believe in what I think is reasonable. Objectively, my interests range from Howark Roark to Don Quixote, Jazz to Metal, Sleep to adventure, etc. A techie and social media addict.

An idea worth spreading

Right to Information. Such an idea exists but is inaccessible. As an Indian, I know how instrumental can such a tool be for the masses to escape the present day autistic bureaucracy. And, I do believe than the Indian TED can be the most effective in this idea of philanthropy. Recent survey's do predict that an application via bribery and the RTI have almost equal probability to get finalized withing the same time-frame. Such a idea is like the drizzle of water for a lost one in the Atacama. Awareness is what is required, not only withing the TED community but among the citizen to revitalize himself and restore faith in the Indian administration. I believe that Right to Information is an idea worth spreading since its an avatar of the basic right of a human: a right to know!!!

Areas of expertise

Advertising (Creative), Budgeting and forecasting, Content creation and strategy, Grant Seeking and Proposal Writing, Marketing + Branding, Social Media (Change & learning), Sponsorship Procurement

The TED story

Just the emphasis on the sheer brilliance of the idea caught my awe when i first saw TED. I remember the first TED video I saw was that of Pranav Mistry;s sixth sense technology, since then I have followed TED talks regularly. My association got strengthened with the birth of TEDxBITSGoa where I got closer to understanding the TEDx way of doing things, the management aspect. Involvement in the corporate branding and TED branding for TEDxBITSGoa brought me closer to TED. Today, if asked to answer in a single line, I would say "Every TED talk sounds likes a story to me, unscathed, unadulterated, and a streak of pure innovation"
