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).

Krithik Rock

Student

Krithik Medwin Rock is a seventeen-year-old student at NPSi who is probably just excessively pretentious and eloquent besides heavily-opinionated. Possessing an ardent affinity for public policy and philosophy, he could never shy away from a debate and regularly following sport; he has never had a week go by without football for as long as he can remember. When not travailing in the best interests of his scholastic deadlines, he can be sought solitary and deep in thought or in the forefront of a fiery debate.

Rishi Agrawal

Shruti Pathak

Student

I'm a 16 year old student who likes to draw, watch shows, and sleep in my free time (or when I'm supposed to be studying). I'm also someone who feels like an absolute narcissist when I write a paragraph about myself, but here's my shot at it anyway. I'm a personified oxymoron, a labeled pessimist who wants to desperately better the world; and I do it the only way I know how: by creation, by expression, and by trying to be the best version of myself (that last one's still a work in progress). I think I'm too young to know my place in the universe right now, but I hope my efforts have made a dent in its expanse.

Srinjana Sriram

Student

My name is Srinjana Sriram and I am an NPSi student. I'm your ordinary teenager who enjoys reading, television, and the occasional political debate. One of my primary aspirations is to leave behind a tangible, positive impact on the world in whatever way I can. I hope to be a source of inspiration for others as they embark on their journey of self-growth, as they come to understand that fulfillment comes not only from satiating one's own desires but from ameliorating the quality of the lives of those around them as well, even if it's only by a little.
