TEDxKnowledgeumAcademyYouth 2025 was held on Saturday, 27th September, at Knowledgeum Academy, one of Bengaluru’s leading IB World Schools backed by the JAIN Group. The independently organised TEDx event brought together 14 speakers who shared powerful stories under the theme “Visible. Possible. – Unfold Ideas Make them possible”.
The talks covered a wide range of subjects—from breakthroughs in cancer diagnostics and plant-based alternatives to plastic, to mental health, travel, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Each speaker combined personal experiences with science, storytelling, and self-discovery, creating an inspiring mix for the audience.
Speakers included Akash Raj, Aishwarya Lakhani, Anand Varadaraj, Mr. Ankit Vengurlekar, Aswanth G. Krishnan, Dr. Harshita Umesh, Dr. Narayana Subramaniam, Krithika Tharan, Mariyam Saigal, Mythri Kumar, Satyam Singh, Sharath Kumar, Soumya Nambiar, and Srinivas Sarkar.
The event drew learners, parents, educators, and professionals who interacted with the speakers not only during their sessions but also through breakout conversations.
Aparna Prasad, Founder, Knowledgeum, said, “Platforms like TEDx give young people a chance to listen, question, and connect ideas to action. For us at Knowledgeum Academy, hosting this event was about creating that space of dialogue where inspiration meets responsibility. We believe that ideas become powerful only when they spark change in the everyday lives of people.”
Ankit Vengurlekar, Founder, Antar Wellness, said, “The diversity of the audience was remarkable. To see 15- and 16-year-olds so engaged with concepts like Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha was my ‘aha’ moment. Events like TEDx at Knowledgeum Academy give young people exposure to ideas that can shape the way they live and lead in the future.”
TEDxKnowledgeumAcademyYouth 2025 was made possible with the support of Knowledgeum Academy, offering a platform where young audiences could connect local voices to global conversations and turn inspiration into action.
