In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Utsav Kapoor

Arihant Verma Arihant Verma is a 2015 ECE graduate. He was the Chief Editor of SRIJAN, the college's annual literary magazine. Most of his college time, he was found on basketball court trying to dunk and make 10s of free throws in a row, even on exam screw up evenings. He grabbed the only job offer he had as a front end developer, which was surprising that he'd gotten one in the first place. At job, he got something to learn and look forward to. He quit his job earlier this year and is preparing to genuinely study more in Masters, which is still a shock for him. Meanwhile he's working on setting up a self sustained alumni network and has made a prototype. He breaths in and out poetry, read it crazily. He also reads novels really slowly, sometimes re reading most parts of it to learn the language and emotions behind one, and how they interweave. He also likes to read and write code. Utsav is an Analyst at The Boston Consulting Group. He majored in Economics at Hindu College, University of Delhi three years ago, and showed a keen interest in studying Behavioral Economics. Utsav, a real people’s person, firmly believes in presenting the most complex things in the simplest manner possible. While he comes across as a carefree person on the face, his values lie deep-rooted in his principles. His aim is to build an organization that helps drive businesses by providing them a very lucid and focused driven approach.
