Theme: Deus Ex Machina

The solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem. The entrance of a 'god' to bring an end to an unresolvable climax. The trump card. Referring to the introduction of these ideas, our theme, 'Deus Ex Machina' aims to coalesce with the very principle of TEDx– Ideas Worth Spreading. With issues arising in every field, our goal is to bring forth a series of revolutionary ideas which break the generic glass ceilings, and bring forth interesting outcomes. Rather than being unexpected twists in the scenarios, we aim to foster the generation of solutions which have been staring us in the face all along, and invoke conversations of its implications in the modern scenario.
