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).

Zoya Agarwal

Indian Commercial Pilot and Spokesperson

An all-women cockpit crew created aviation history in January this year by operating the longest non-stop commercial flight by any airline to India. Now, Air India Captain Zoya Agarwal, who commanded the San Francisco to Bengaluru flight, has spoken to Humans of Bombay about her childhood dream of becoming her pilot, how she worked to achieve it and her role as captain of flight AI-176. "In the 90s, growing up as a girl in a lower middle class family meant that you weren't allowed to dream beyond your means," says Ms Agarwal. Still, at the age of eight, she knew she wanted to become a pilot. "I'd go to the terrace, look at the aeroplanes in the sky and wonder, 'Maybe if I was flying one of those planes, I could touch the stars," she says.
