“The Power of Now in the context of community, country, and society underscores how current
circumstances open opportunities and build challenges. It also shows how our current actions, chosen
from the many possibilities, have a transformative impact on future trajectories. In the diverse and
vibrant tapestry of the world, "The Power of Now" takes on a unique and culturally enriched meaning. In
the midst of affording us numerous opportunities, the present moment necessitates a simplified
approach, taking into account the prevailing circumstances. It also encourages the emergence of diverse
viewpoints that can converge to create a more compelling and widely embraced concept. In the world's
current context of societal change and economic potential, embracing the power of the present can
drive meaningful reforms, resilience, and equitable progress, laying the foundation for a prosperous and
inclusive future."

TED is a non-profit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
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 via “rules and tools”. TEDx events are organized by passionate individuals who seek to uncover new ideas and the latest research in their local areas and 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.
At TEDxSIBMBengaluru, as we enter the 13th season, we envision that our live speakers, talks, videos and interactions shall combine to spark profound discussions and inspire minds. The driving force behind us is a harmony of the tireless curiosity and creativity coupled with the ingenious spirit of innovation. Consequently, we have witnessed a transformation through the years setting a precedence for great talks and serving as a platform for great thinkers.
