TEDxYouth@Saravanampatti is an independently organised TED event by a group of young enthusiasts willing to change the world. We believe in TED's motto of "ideas worth spreading" and how we can also contribute to the change we want to bring to this world through a series of powerful talks by people who believed in their own ideas and eventually changed lives.

From minds to voices, the journey is hard. Fear stands in the way. Afraid to publish our ideas, we bury them in our brains, making sure they never see the light of day. We believe in the impact it could create on peoples' minds and motivate them towards letting their thoughts run free, by letting their words flow, by speaking.

We at TEDxYouth@Saravanampatti, wish to bring the soulful minds who've impacted many lives through their ideas to light which in turn will inspire everyone of us to do the same.
