5)  Themes That Go in Tandem with Each Other

The theme of every year’s TEDx talks at SIBM B has had a profound association with that of the preceding year’s. Our journey began by “Challenging The Unconventional”, then we did so and took “The Road Less Travelled” to follow our hearts to seek after the best of life mantras, “Carpe Diem : Seize The Day”, and showed the world “The Power Of One”, and then took TEDxSIBMBengaluru “Beyond Imagination”, lighting a sentiment that there is no limit to the creative ideas that can be generated. Also, this time, we’re set to begin our journey with “Breaking Boundaries” that elevates us to the next stage of the journey - doing something which challenges the status quo.
