The TED story
Started around 2009-10! I still remember the TED Video of Pranav Mistry which i showed to my students in MBA class to make it easy to understand the subject [Technology for Management] concepts. Since then TED videos are part of my class room activties be it a case study or as an example. Started organising, attending TEDx and TED Ed Events, Workshop and Saloon events across globe. As TEDx India Ambassador i love to help in understanding pre-application process, Curation - Content, Audience, Team, Speakers, Event, etc.,
Love the way TED events are made, i learn from meeting people and love to connect people and share ideas.
Always Excited and Curious wondering where my TED journey would lead me!. Attended the TEDxWeekEndSingapore in June 2022. TED Next 2024 - Atlanta, TEDx India Regional Workshops. As TED translator i am translating talks for the love of my Mother tounge - Kannada.
Since 2021, i have introduced TED Ed to schools & admire young minds when they explore and talk from the TED Ed stage. Totally a TED fan :-)!
