TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like experience and spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The overarching theme for this year’s TEDx event was ‘Everything begins with an Idea 3.0’. Under this, Ashoka coined its key theme as ‘Idea to Impact’ which was based on the journey of how a simple idea can lead to a revolutionary impact if pursued with full commitment and passion.
