TEDxGRVSOM 2026

 

At TEDxGRVSOM, we are committed to advancing our mission of sharing Ideas Worth Spreading by encouraging diverse perspectives and unlocking the creative potential within our community. We are excited to announce a full-day institutional event scheduled for January 24, 2026, where we will host up to 100 dynamic and forward-thinking individuals.

The theme for this year’s event is “Kalpana”—a Sanskrit term that signifies Imagination in its purest form. Rich in meaning and open to interpretation, Kalpana captures the spirit of creativity, visionary thinking, and boundless innovation. It speaks to our ability to envision the extraordinary, serving as a catalyst for transformation, a foundation for invention, and a force for positive social impact.

This event will provide a dynamic platform for a diverse lineup of speakers to share powerful stories, thought-provoking insights, and bold dreams—encouraging meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and fresh perspectives. Embracing the essence of Kalpana, we seek to explore how imagination fuels solutions to complex global challenges, inspires revolutionary ideas, and nurtures a mindset that dares to dream beyond boundaries.

Through their talks, our speakers aim to spark the flame of creativity within the audience, cultivating an environment where innovation thrives and transformative ideas take root. This theme is a celebration of the infinite potential of human imagination and its profound ability to shape a better, brighter future.

Join us at GRV School of Management on January 24, 2026, for an inspiring day where visionary thinkers come together to share ideas that have the power to change the world.
