Theme: Driving Change

TEDxFMS is an independently organised TED event organised by Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) University of Delhi at New Delhi. The Theme of the event was,”Driving Change”. Change, as is said, is the only constant in the world, yet, we are all apprehensive of it. When we look around us, there are so many things we wish were different- in our lives and in our surroundings, but only a few of us have the courage to take charge and change life as we know it. Those few are almost always met by resistance from inside and out, but dedication, hard work and persistence can help cross any barriers. TEDxFMS attempts to explore this urge, motivation and drive to change. ​
