Amber Pancholi
Liscensee/Organizer + Speaker
What happens when your culture becomes a trend, but your identity is still judged? My TEDxYouth talk explores the double standards in fashion and how cultural styles are often erased and only celebrated when rebranded as Western. It’s not about who gets to wear what. It’s about recognition, respect, and understanding where trends originate.
Luke Nolte
Speaker
Living with high-functioning autism can mean constantly balancing what others see with what’s happening internally. My TED Talk focuses on the hidden struggles, misunderstood experiences, and unique strengths that come with navigating the world as a neurodivergent person.
Neya Srinivasan
Speaker
My TEDx talk is about teenage mental health and how hard it can be to actually get support that helps. I talk about places like horse therapy, where connection feels real, especially for teens and veterans who don’t always have many options. The main point is that everyone deserves a space where they feel understood, and sometimes you have to go out and find or build that yourself.
Prisha Tiwari
Organizer + Speaker
We often assume that harm is caused by people who do not know better–but more often, it comes from people who do know better and choose silence instead. My TEDxYouth talk explores how self-censorship shapes our classrooms, friendships, societies, and even politics. If we all know what’s right, why is it so hard for us to speak?
Umang Sharma
Speaker
A blind student guided Umang through a dark bathroom he couldn’t navigate. That moment changed how he built, designed, and thought about impact. His TEDx talk is about why the smallest fix can restore the most dignity.
Vihaan Singh
Speaker
My talk is about navigating the world of curiosity, trying to balance performance and learning while exploring what the real meaning of being “well-rounded” is.
