Theme: Rediscovering Zero

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).

Reflecting and disseminating his experiences, which his eyes witnessed during his heritage visits with his father, he personifies the rich heritage culture of Delhi through his words and reflects it through his vision. He is a “Delhiite” in a true sense.
