Sarita Devi

It is hard to imagine the grit & determination that went in transforming the sixth daughter of an agricultural farmer from Imphal into an Arjuna Award winning boxer. But Ms. Devi’s story is just that. There is more to this national champion, and former Lightweight World Champion, than meets the eye. A mother, a fighter, a champion – she is all this & more.

Vasu Primlani

A stand-up comedian, environmentalist, rock climber, triathlete. Phew! If you think that's too much of activity for one person, she is also a ballerina and has danced with Bolshoi. Oh wait, she teaches, too, at the Xavier Institute of Management - Bhubaneswar, and she's also the founder of the non-profit Thinmakka’s Resources for Environment Education in the US. At TEDxIndianSchoolOfBusiness, she would talk about topic currently being debated all over - freedom of expression.
