The third edition of TEDx Bangalore, with the theme Fluid, is going to be held on May 29 at the Infosys Campus. Sartaj Singh Anand, the curator of the event says, “We wanted to distance ourselves from popular public perceptions that conferences are just a platform for people to meet and discuss ideas. We have made an attempt to change the sessions, make it more interactive. We also wanted to break the perception that Bangalore does not exist beyond IT. We have attempted to have activities that are becoming part of the culture of the city.”

He adds, “We have a range of speakers from Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the director of the Bollywood flick, Nil Battey Sanatta, MTV anchor VJ Bani and Asian games medallist Mustafa Ghouse and many others. We wanted to get people from diverse fields.” The other speakers are Sonalde Desai, senior fellow at NCAER, Saurabh Arora, founder and CEO Airwoot, Gabriel Daniel, singer/songwriter, ManilRohit, artists and founders, The Creative Indians, Syed Sultan Ahmed, educator, entrepreneur, national film award recipient, Swati Subodh, co-founder 1M1B Foundation and founder, Aadyantara, Rohith Subramanian, The Lone Wanderer, Romana Sigl, founder, coworker Salzburg, Tirthankar Dash, design thinker and story crafter, Mustafa Ghouse, Asian Games medallist, COO Bengaluru Football Club, CEO JSW Sports, Pamela Gale Malhotra, co-founder of Sai Sanctuary and Professor Christian Schluchter, professor of Geology, University of Bern.
