My TED Story
I was an investment banker when I saw my first TED Talk. It was sent to me by a friend when I was recovering from a slip disc and had a lot of time in hand as I was advised complete bed-rest. My first talk was the one delivered by William Kamkwamba on how he built a windmill out of trash parts in his village to generate enough electricity to run a light bulb. I was amazed, quit my job the next day and got involved in bringing TED to India. The journey was uncharted and post TEDIndia 2009, we were amazed to see the response not just from India but from the rest of Asia. I have served as the TEDx ambassador since and went on to Co-Found The INK Conference in association with TED to find hidden, unknown stories from rest of Asia.
