Theme: Discovering Passion

Passion, in its simplest form rewards you with a serene sense of satisfaction. Often, backed with a perseverant and sincere attitude, it creates success stories everyone wants to be a part of. But every once in a while, passion grows to become the very reason for your existence, as it flares in full glory to give birth to legends that inspire millions, leaving an indelible mark on this world. Yet this journey can begin only once you are consciously aware of your passion.

TEDxFMS attempts to explore Passion, inspire ideas and create legacies.
