Day 1

The Festival of Ideas is a space for the curious. Whether you are a student with a notebook full of ideas, a founder trying to find your footing, or an educator looking for a fresh perspective, this day is for you.

We are moving away from the idea of a single stage. Instead, we are creating an environment where learning happens through conversation and participation. It is about getting direct access to people who have already walked the path and finding peers who are currently building their own.

Beyond the sessions, we are trying to build a community. We want you to walk away with more than just notes. We want you to leave with a new connection, a bit more confidence in your project, and a better set of questions about what comes next.

To achieve this goal, we have assembled a unique line-up of speakers:

Speaker 1:

Shefali Pandey; Founder & Chief, Flora Fountain (Digital Marketing Agency)

Speaker 2:

Bijal Haria; Classical Dancer, Arts Educator & Founder, Parampara Academy of Performing Arts

Speaker 3:

Dr. Kirit Kubavat; Sr. Consultant Physician and Diabetologist at Zydus Hospitals 

Speaker 4:

Harsh Sevani; CEO, Founder at Zippit, Letsbiz, The metafurr

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Day 2

 The Public Speaking Workshop:

The Public Speaking Workshop will be held on 25th October, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It will help students build confidence, overcome stage-fright, and express themselves clearly through a mix of concept-based learning and hands-on practice. 

Here, participants will have the opportunity to work on all aspects of engaging an audience. With the workshop, they’ll be able to present their ideas with confidence, no matter the experience.

PS. Bring a laptop or a notebook/pen. Notes would be quite useful.

 Additionally, there will be e-certificates waiting if you attend any of the events
