TEDxSIBMBengaluru : A Journey..



Great work starts with the smallest idea. An idea has the power to change everything. To commemorate the need for innovation and ideation, SIBM Bengaluru is back with the 5th chapter of TEDxSIBMBengaluru on 27th February 2016. Through this stage, we aspire to give a platform to people whose ideas have made an impact on the lives of others in their 
community or country, be it through social change or changes in Technology, Entertainment or Design.

TEDxSIBMBengaluru has witnessed a transformation through the years. We have set precedence for some great talks and great thinkers. Let’s rewind and relive the journey of TEDxSIBMBengaluru. 

2012, the year TEDx was launched with the theme ‘Challenging the Conventional’. The essential point was to rouse psyches and look for profound exchanges of ideas. We hosted speakers from different walks of life to give the audience a plethora of inspired ideas. From Satyajit Bhatkal, of Satya Meva Jayate fame to Mark Inglis, the double amputee to scale Mount Everest. From Shri Pran Kumar Sharma to Tanmay Bhat, TEDxSIBMBengaluru in the years 2012 and 2013 left an indelible mark in the minds of the audience.

In 2014, TEDxSIBMBengaluru set out on a different note with the theme ‘The Road Less Travelled’. Robert Frost’s immortal words echoed through the day-‘Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference’, as TEDx registered its 3rd successful chapter. IAS Armstrong Pame, Former Miss England Kate Hallam, Singers Mahalakshmi Iyer,Lucky Ali and Nikhil D’souza made the day exciting, engaging and entertaining!

Come 2015, TEDxSIBMBengaluru was launched with the theme Carpe Diem – Seize the Day. This theme was a testament to those who believed in the irrational, who took each day and lived it like it’s their last. The day witnessed 3 standing ovations, exciting tech demos and fun talks. History was made as for the first time TEDxSIBMBengaluru went trending across online societies. 

In its 5th Anniversary, we are set once more to remake history and scale new heights as we launch TEDxSIBMBengaluru with the theme: Power of One. We bring more exciting talks, disruptive dialogues and interesting insights from the thriving community of Bengaluru and across India. It is all going down on the 27th February, 2016! You wouldn’t want to miss it for the world.




Stay tuned as there is lots more to come.
