TEDx May 9

In the spirit of the famous TED talks and of ideas worth spreading, Risk Advisors Inc. is a supporting partner in an event on May 9, 2015 that will showcase 10 talks around the theme, ‘Finding Your True North’. The emphasis is simple: through an array of diverse and intellectual speakers, we hope to highlight the unchartered potential of a person’s life.

Our colleague, Atish Chhabria, collaborated with a team of young TED enthusiasts to put together this event. Atish was primarily responsible for fundraising, speaker profiling and digital media. Risk Advisors Inc. is proud to support him and his team in bringing this inspirational event to life.

Speakers span across different fields, age groups and passions. Renuka Ramnath, founder and CEO of Multiples Alternate Asset Management and pioneer of private equity in India, takes the stage alongside Rahul Akekar, founder of deGustibus Hospitality and responsible for the city’s beloved Indigo and Indigo Deli. Arundhati Subramanian, poet and recent winner of the Khushwant Singh Memorial Prize for Poetry, speaks about art and culture beside 17-year-old Parth Mehta, a passionate advocate for mathemagic. As Mr D. R. Mehta, CEO of Jaipur Foot, speaks about a social model of healthcare, Vineeta Singh, entrepreneur founder of Fab Bag, speaks of her passion for marathon running and how it has changed her career.

About TEDx
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.
