Greater Noida : Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), a leading AACSB accredited business school in India, successfully hosted TEDxBIMTECH at its campus. This empowering platform brought together 9 distinguished speakers to share their insights around the theme “Decoding Tomorrow”.
TED is a
nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and
spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive
meaningful change. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local,
self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like
experience, where x = independently organized event. At a TEDx event, TED Talks
video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.
The
visionary day explored the future of human well-being, technological growth,
and innovation in life with experts who have conquered arenas to boardrooms and
from culture to wellness.
The
eminent personalities included Deepa Krishnan (Head of Marketing- Real Estate,
Edelweiss Alternate Asset Advisors), Sarika Malik (Professional Indian
Wrestler), Buland Himalay (Voice of the Himalayas), and Annu Grover, Founder &
CEO, Nurturing Green.
Dr. Prabina Rajib,
Director, BIMTECH, shared, “By hosting a globally recognised knowledge-sharing
platform like TEDx, we reaffirmed our role as a hub for ideas that matter and
inspire progress. The seamless blend of storytelling, research-driven
perspectives, and lived experiences created an immersive learning environment
that resonated deeply with us all. As custodians of knowledge, it is our duty
to encourage our students and the wider community to question, innovate, and
engage with real-world challenges.”
Deepa
Krishnan, Head of Marketing- Real Estate, Edelweiss Alternate Asset
Advisors, captivated the audience at TEDxBIMTECH with her insights on
the “5 Mantras of an Innovation Mindset.” Emphasising the need for a “beta
brain,” she encouraged individuals to stay curious, experimental and open to
continuous learning in an ever-evolving world.
Annu Grover, Founder
& CEO, Nurturing Green, said, “Our goal is to reach every home with a plant
and promote the concept of green gifting – ‘Gift a Plant.’ The idea of gifting
a plant has been the driving force behind this venture.”
Sarika Malik,
Professional Indian Wrestler emphasized that while setbacks such as failure,
injury, or loss may break momentum and identity, it is this inner “1% mind”
that enables individuals to rise again, rebuild themselves, and move forward
when giving up feels easier.
The event witnessed
enthusiastic participation from the BIMTECH academic community and external
attendees, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to nurturing intellectual
curiosity and fostering dialogue beyond the classroom.
