About Tedx

TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx brings the spirit of TED to local communities around the globe through TEDx events. These events are organized by passionate individuals who seek to uncover new ideas and to share the latest research in their local areas that spark conversations in their communities. TEDx events include live speakers and recorded TED Talks, and are organized independently under a free license granted by TED. These events are not controlled by TED, but event organizers agree to abide by our format, and are offered guidelines for curation, speaker coaching, event organizing and more. They learn from us and from each other. More than 3000 events are now held annually.

Mr. Nirvaan Birla

Managing Director

our youngest members, our tiny tots, hold the key to the future. The values we instill in them today will shape the responsible citizens of tomorrow. It is within this framework that education emerges as a pivotal force, molding young minds as they journey towards adulthood. During these formative years, the responsibility for nurturing these budding minds rests both with parents and the education sector. Together, they lay the foundation upon which future generations will build their dreams and ambitions. It is at the preschool level that children take their first steps into the world beyond the safety of their homes—a pivotal moment that leaves an indelible mark. We are not just educators; we are architects of dreams. We are not just teaching; we are sculpting. Every day, we strive to create an environment that fosters curiosity, encourages exploration, and instills the values that will serve as the bedrock for our young learners. Together, as a community of parents, educators, and stakeholders, we have the power to create a brighter future, one enriched by the values and wisdom imparted to our children during these foundational years.
