In anything you attempt in your life, you’ll hit those bumps in the road. You may even spend a couple of weeks at a plateau. It's just the way the world works.
We, at TEDxMSIT intend to be a synergist for inspiration and learning. We aspire to make an attempt to invite such prominent innovators and speakers, from different walks of life, to uncover the amazing ideas, the impact they had and their inspirational journey, to spark conversation and connection through their over-whelming and startling talks, inspiring young visionaries to bring a transformation in their thought process and promote and widen the outreach of the ideas talked upon in their community.

When a bulb is lit, it showers its dazzling light upon us, eliminating darkness of the surroundings; stimulating our thought process to ponder upon diverse vivid, idiosyncratic ideas that can bring a change in an individual or society.
The theme chosen is a very vast subject matter to be discussed in the TEDx event. It primarily gets oneself to thinking about self-sustaining and brainstorming ideas and how they can be implemented in our routine to make our lives riveting. The talks on this topic would be overwhelming and mind boggling that would broaden the horizons of attending community and hopefully inspires them to bring a pragmatic transformation in their thought process.

The world evolves through change, innovation and breakthroughs, TEDx in all its vicissitudes stands for change, openness and growth. When ideas and stories are shared from different corners of the world it helps us celebrate diversity in such troubled times. TEDx has done the impossible, it has brought the world closer in all its endeavours to inspire change.
These talks have struck a chord among people, motivating them to break free from the shackles of mediocrity and reach for the stars.
TEDxMSIT stands for plenty things, is a platform to share plenty of ideas but it’s the change that it incites collectively that makes a world of a difference. Come join us to light the bulb!

Medical doctors by profession, these noble men have stepped out of their niche and try their hands on something they knew the Jawaans were in dire need of. “TeleMedicine, their innovation, is an amalgamation of information and telecommunication technologies that provides readily available medical assistance at all times and places. The doctors have put their blood and sweat Ito make this mission accomplished and successful.
