From technological advancements to water treatment, from the importance of chess to the power of adaptability, the speakers will cover a broad spectrum of ideas that reflect the issues and interests of our time.

“We are proud to have such a talented and inspiring group of speakers joining us,” said Abhinav Avvaru, the TEDx event organizer. “After our successful inaugural event in June 2023, this event is poised to be an even bigger success. Our speakers for this event include professionals and many people from diverse backgrounds. Their talks will challenge and captivate the audience. I cannot wait for this event as it will be a great opportunity for our community to hear many wonderful ideas.”
