TEDxABBS Salon

We all have those defining moments in life—moments of joy, moments of pain, and moments that quietly transform us. What’s yours? Join us this weekend for a journey of self-exploration, as you immerse yourself in our event and experience a series of meaningfully curated talks. Dr. Lavanya Kiran, a renowned Doctor and Robotic Surgeon, will share powerful insights on why birth & a healthy baby matter - not just to an individual, but to a family, society, and the nation. In today’s changing times, this has become increasingly challenging financially, mentally, and physically for both men and women. It’s a journey that shapes not only homes, but the future of a country. We also have Sankesh Surana, India’s celebrated Jewellery Stylist, who will speak about design aesthetics and how his entrepreneurial journey was inspired by nature and how he brings mastery and craftsmanship into every creation - admired by clients from business icons to Bollywood. Manisha Chouraria is South India’s leading Event Planner, known for crafting unforgettable weddings across prime destinations. She will reflect on the profound moments of celebration - from the joy of a birth ceremony to the prayers and memories shared after a loved one’s passing. Ashish Saradka will open up about the realities of grief, and how life continues when death touches those closest to us, leaving behind questions that are not always answered. Finally, we hear from three young voices Desigan, Shruthi & Prashant, aged 21–25, sharing the defining moments that shaped them as they step from education into the world and dare to dream about their future.
