Theme: Limitations are Perceptions

The wait is finally over and it gives us immense pleasure to lift the curtains from the much-awaited event of the 3rd edition of TEDxSBSC.

We want to spread the idea that the limitations set by society, ourselves, or the people around us are just mental barriers, and that the human mind and body is destined for greatness. Breaking this perception can be a catalyst for achieving great things in this world.

Stay tuned to know more about our event and all the exciting things we have in store.
