Theme: Myriad of Mores

The theme "Myriad of Mores" signifies the personalities who have outgrown traditional boundaries and have carved a niche in their respective industries. The aim is to foster such talent and cultivate curiosity in the students' minds such that they are inspired to bring radical changes into their own lives and the lives of the people around them. TEDxIIMRohtak hopes to nurture such prominent personages and create a positive impact on society as a whole.
