Let Ideas Rain This Monsoon...

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Entrepreneur & Multitasker

Having business in his blood he joined his 40-year-old company Lokpriya group involved in non-ferrous trading as a trainee in the year 1999, during his early college days. Being a day dreamer he always had an urge of thinking, implementing and upgrading the current business systems. He believed in doing things differently in business. This urge of doing something new differently helped him to establish and operate three inversely related industries namely Engineering, Education & Entertainment (E3). Today he operates a highly modernised components manufacturing unit, a Passion driven education system LOKPRIYA Providentia International School and E 3 Productions currently involved in production of Regional Movie. He believes that no business can make loss if thought, conceived, implemented and managed well. The ability of multi tasking is a god gift and he loves it.
