• Archana Avanthika S B

  A creatively expressive individual who finds joy in music, dance, drawing, and poetry, is known for her mature conversations and deep empathy.

• Ashvika M

  A determined bookworm and ambivert with passions for art, social science, biology, and badminton, will investigate the origin of the spark through the lens of curiosity. Her talk delves into the science of questioning, the importance of different viewpoints, and how encouragement from others can fan the initial flames of inspiration.

• Daksh Jain

  An aspiring cricket player and entrepreneur with experience as a TEDx speaker and a balanced, open personality, addresses a modern dilemma. He will present a case for a "digital detox," examining both sides of our technological reality to help the audience make a conscious choice about re-engaging with the world beyond the screen.

• NIHARIKA PRAVEEN

  A reserved singer, former bookworm, and seasoned participant in Model UN and speeches who is actively exploring new hobbies, offers a compelling call to action. Her speech challenges the notion of waiting for a moment of perfect inspiration, proposing instead that we must courageously begin our journey in order to discover our spark along the way.

• Ridhanyaa Shree Nithyanandan

  An extroverted and open-minded student with a love for music and reading, will explore the amplifying power of small beginnings. Her idea focuses on how to ignite minor moments and fan them into something significant, emphasizing that action—not initial confidence—is key, and that one's spark can also light the path for others.

• Riyasree S S

  A talkative, artistic, and organised football player with dreams of interior design, will discuss the journey after the spark is lit. She will talk about finding motivation in others' examples, navigating the obstacles one inevitably faces, and developing strategies to overcome them.

  A curious and adventurous bookworm who enjoys badminton, math, and problem-solving, provides a clear, three-step blueprint.

• Shivaani T Chellan

  A fun-loving, casual, yet sharp student with talents in math, science, drawing, and cooking who is no stranger to public speaking, will demystify the starting point. Her message is that to ignite a spark, you don't need a grand plan—you simply need to take one small, brave, and courageous step forward.

• Subasree Sridhar

  A passionate learner whose interests span the violin, debating, writing, and volunteering. In today’s talk, she reflects on the idea that the regret of inaction is far more painful than the fear of doing something “bad” or imperfect. Through the lens of overthinking, delayed decisions, and missed beginnings — like wanting to learn the violin at six but starting only at fourteen — she highlights how we all move to different internal clocks. Her message is clear and compelling: action, however small, is always better than hesitation.

• Tejashree. J

  A diligent and kind student skilled in academics, art, craft, and basketball, will focus on the discipline required after the initial ignition.
