Theme: Outside Out

‘Outside-Out’ fundamentally revolves around unearthing what goes beyond the known. In a world bifurcated by insides and outsides, this theme defines a new dimension-representing fresh thoughts, ideas and information. It aims at making us think without the boundaries which have come to define our existence.

As the minutes on the clock tick by and we add another year to our age, we tend to stop redefining our horizons and believe that we know all there is to know. Outside-Out aims at helping us realize the possibilities and realities which surpass these well-defined veracities. It aims to transport us to our childhood days of wide eyed wonderment; of bringing out the exciting even in the ordinary!

TEDxNMIMSBangalore – “Outside Out” will be about discovering amazing realities which are hidden away somewhere beyond our ‘Outside’; revealing the gems that lie beyond-in the abyss of the unknown!
