On 21st August 2022, a crowd of over 100 engaged community members came together to celebrate the sharing of ideas at the 8th annual TEDx event at XIM, Bhubaneshwar. The event took place in an offline setting after two years.
The 8th edition of TEDxXIM was a monumental success, continuing the legacy of the event. The experience of the evening was surreal and helped the audience look at the world anew ‘Through The Looking Glass’. It was graced by distinguished speakers from fields including but not limited to culture, research, sports, corporate, motivation and nutrition.
The event commenced with lighting of the lamp at XIM, Bhubaneshwar by the dignitaries and was followed by a very endearing video showcasing what TEDx really is.
Our first speaker on stage was Mr. Yogesh Chabria, a bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Happionaire. Mr. Chabria emphasized on how true happiness lies in sharing joy and how giving back enables us to grow.
Our next speaker for the evening was Ms. Shivani Kataria, the youngest swimmer to represent the country at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Ms. Kataria took us through an awe-inspiring talk on her journey as an athlete and a soon-to-be coach.
Following up was the eminent Dr. D.P. Sudhakar, the Group Director of Systems Reliability in ISRO. He spoke about his journey in ISRO, the scale at which rockets work, studded with a plethora of related life experiences.
Our next speaker in line was Ms. Apra Kuchhal, founder of We Care, an initiative to promote women, youth, art, and culture. She shared with the audience her experience in the field of social entrepreneurship and how she believes in possessing multipotentiality and not putting full stops on oneself.
For the cultural performance, XIM was delighted to have on stage Padma Shri Dr. Ileana Citaristi. Dr. Citaristi, a celebrated Odissi and Chhau dancer, is the founder of Art Vision. The performance enthralled the audience with grace and magic.
Our last speaker for the evening was Mrs. Pankaj Bhadouria, India’s 1st MasterChef and founder of the Pankaj Bhadouria Culinary Academy, with a mission to redefine professional culinary education. Mrs. Bhadouria shed light on the importance of diet and nutrition.
It was an honor to have hosted speakers of this stature. The day was filled with emotion, inspiration, humor, and passion, which ended with the vote of thanks by the organizer of TEDxXIM 2022, Ms. Nandini Agarwala.
