This year’s theme ‘Envisage Evoke Enlighten’ aims to get in one place all the pace-setters and future-limbers, icons and non-conformists who have envisaged something that spurred them on and evoked their spirits and took them on an uncharted territory where they went ahead to enlighten the path for others. The results will be stories and ordeals, episodes and experiences, lessons and exemplars that will change the way you see the world. This edition of TEDxIIFTDelhi 2017 brings together an eclectic bunch of crusaders who sought to change something, turned their visions into reality and made the world a better place by their deeds. To chronicle all those tales and to unearth remarkable but lesser-known ideas, IIFT Delhi launches the third edition of TEDxIIFTDelhi.

TED is a global non-profit platform devoted to spreading ideas. Started in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment, and design converge, TED today shares ideas from a broad spectrum—from science to business to global issues. Independent TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. At TEDx events, live presenters spark deep conversations and connections in a small group with the objective to take world class ideas to your target community.
