TEDxIETLUCKNOW 2019

TEDx is an international community that organizes TED-style events anywhere and everywhere -- celebrating locally-driven ideas and elevating them to a global stage. TEDx events are produced independently of TED conferences, each event curates speakers on their own, but based on TED's format and rules.
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us. The secret of change lies not in resistance but in reconstruction.
