Student

I am a Corporate BBA student with a strong interest in business management and professional growth. In my first year of college, I was a part of TEDx Jain University, where I worked in the Creatives Department and contributed to the successful execution of the TEDx event hosted by our team. As part of the creatives team, I was involved in photography, videography, and conducting on-ground interviews, gaining hands-on experience in visual storytelling, event coverage, and professional communication. Working on a platform like TEDx helped me develop creativity, attention to detail, and confidence while collaborating in a high-responsibility, team-driven environment. I value teamwork, accountability, and continuous learning, and I am passionate about contributing to platforms that focus on ideas, impact, and meaningful experiences. Being part of TEDx has strengthened my interest in creative work, communication, and executing events that create lasting value.

I am passionate about growth, communication, and creative execution. I enjoy working in environments where ideas turn into action and where creativity supports strategy and impact. I am driven by continuous learning, taking responsibility, and developing real-world skills that help me grow both personally and professionally.

“Creativity Is a Business Skill, Not a Talent” We are taught that creativity belongs to artists, designers, or “naturally gifted” people. But in reality, creativity is a learnable business skill—one that drives leadership, innovation, problem-solving, and growth. Behind every successful startup, campaign, or global brand is not just data or strategy, but creative thinking: the ability to connect ideas, tell compelling stories, and see possibilities where others see limitations. Creativity is not about being the loudest idea in the room—it’s about clarity, empathy, and execution. In business and in life, the most impactful leaders are not those who follow formulas, but those who think differently and act intentionally. When creativity is treated as a skill—practiced, refined, and applied—it becomes a powerful tool that anyone can use to create value and meaningful change. Idea worth spreading: Creativity isn’t a gift you’re born with—it’s a skill you build, and it may be the most important one you’ll ever learn.

When I found out that I had been selected to be a part of the TEDx Jain University team, I was genuinely shocked. TED Talks had always been a part of my daily routine—I start most of my mornings listening to ideas, stories, and perspectives from people across the world. Being someone who admired TED from the audience side, the thought of working behind the scenes felt both unreal and exciting. What made the experience even more meaningful was becoming part of a team that shared the same curiosity and passion for ideas. Working together, brainstorming, exchanging perspectives, and building something collectively showed me the power of collaboration. Being in the Creatives Department has been especially engaging—from brainstorming concepts to editing content for social media and planning events, every step felt dynamic and purposeful. What once inspired me through a screen now inspires me through action. Being part of TEDx has turned something I admired into something I actively contribute to, making the journey both fulfilling and unforgettable.

People don’t know I’m good at public speaking and leading with clarity and confidence, especially in situations that require responsibility and quick thinking. I enjoy communicating ideas in a way that connects with people and brings structure to conversations. Alongside this, I have a strong foundation in music, which has shaped my sense of rhythm, creativity, and emotional expression, and influences how I approach both leadership and communication.
