The Power of One

Took placeAugust 23, 2025
LocationChandigarh, Chandigarh, India
FormatUniversity
One person. One idea. One moment. That’s all it takes to change the world. At TEDxSVIET 2025, we explore the profound impact one individual, one idea, or one action can have on the world. “The Power of One” is a celebration of stories that show how change doesn’t always start with a movement — sometimes, it starts with a single person who dares to believe, speak up, or take that first step. From groundbreaking innovations and personal resilience to social change and creative expression, this theme invites speakers from all walks of life to share how their journey — as one voice, one mind, one force — created waves of transformation. This August, we gather thinkers, doers, and dreamers to remind the world that every great revolution begins with “One.”
