Theme: Theme:"Threads of identity"

Like a horizon over the sea, identity expands and transforms with time. TEDxMITWPU seeks to uncover hidden facets of selfhood, forging new connections and discoveries.
Balancing our many selves is never easy, yet it is through this very act that we embark on a profound journey of self-discovery. Identity may never be fully defined—but isn’t that the beauty of unravelling it?

TEDxMITWPU celebrates such visionaries who have had the courage to start over, to build a legacy and who have forgiven their past; only to find their soul’s purpose.

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).
