Student

I am a pre-final year student at Harcourt Butler Technical University, deeply engaged in leadership, community building, and content-driven initiatives. I have served as a co-organizer for TEDxHBTU and as Joint Secretary of NSS HBTU, where I have been involved in coordinating large-scale events, working with diverse teams, and curating meaningful experiences for students and speakers. With experience in content creation through my internship at Pinkvilla and a background as an NTSE Scholar and a two-time Pre-RMO qualifier, I bring a balanced mix of creativity, structure, and analytical thinking. I am passionate about expanding platforms that encourage ideas, storytelling, and social impact.

I’m passionate about storytelling, youth leadership, and creating spaces where meaningful conversations can take shape. I enjoy working on projects that bring students together, highlight diverse perspectives, and encourage personal growth. TEDx is one such platform that inspires me to connect people with ideas that challenge, question, and elevate.

My belief is that young people, when trusted with responsibility, can build ecosystems of genuine impact. Students often underestimate their own capacity to create change — but every powerful movement, innovation, or breakthrough often starts with a single idea nurtured in a small community. I believe in creating platforms where youth voices are not only heard but amplified — allowing them to inspire, innovate, and influence the world around them.

My journey with TED began as a student fascinated by ideas and speakers who could expand perspectives within a few minutes. Being part of the previous TEDxHBTU team as a Co-organizer showed me how powerful a single event can be in influencing a campus community. Now, as I step forward to lead the next edition, I hope to build an even stronger platform where impactful ideas, inspiring individuals, and energetic youth meet to create lasting value.

People don’t know that I’m good at thinking strategically even when situations get stressful. I stay calm, evaluate what needs to be done, and make practical decisions that help the team move forward. Whether it’s handling logistics, coordinating groups, or resolving issues, I’m able to bring order and direction.
