As a computer science student with a passion for ideas that go beyond code, I joined TEDxMAJU as Co-Organizer to help build a platform where real voices could be heard. TEDxMAJU isn’t just an event — it’s a space for our university’s brightest minds to speak truth, share stories, and confront the issues we often only whisper about. From classroom conversations to chai-corner debates, our goal is to amplify ideas born within MAJU and let them resonate far beyond it. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about honest expression. If even one talk sparks a shift, inspires action, or starts a dialogue, it will have been worth it.

I’m passionate about bridging the gap between technology and humanity — using ideas, stories, and platforms like TEDx to inspire thought, build empathy, and create meaningful change beyond the screen.

Expression matters more than perfection — real change begins when honest voices are heard. Why I joined TEDxMAJU: To help create a platform where students can speak boldly, share real stories, and challenge the status quo — not just to impress, but to inspire. What TEDxMAJU means to me: It’s more than an event. It’s a movement that lets the hidden brilliance within our university be seen, heard, and felt — one talk at a time. One thing I hope to see on the TEDxMAJU stage: A story so raw and real that it sparks a conversation long after the applause ends.

Coding, Leading, speaking

I had never led a society or managed an event before, but I believed in the power of ideas—and that was enough to take the first step. TEDxMAJU started as a bold vision: to create a space where our campus could speak freely, honestly, and impactfully. I didn’t just want to host an event—I wanted to build a platform for expression, where unfiltered stories and thought-provoking ideas could echo far beyond our university walls. Being part of TEDx taught me that leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space for others to speak, and trusting that their voices matter.

spotting potential in people and ideas — even when they’re rough, quiet, or overlooked.
