TEDxYouth@HFSI 2021 - Event Report


The Third Edition of TEDxYouth@HFSI was hosted virtually on Saturday, the 20th of March, 2021 at 6:00 PM (Indian Standard Time). The switch to hosting a virtual event came due to the pandemic’s restrictions. However, that did not deter the spirit of the students, faculty and staff involved in the preparation for the event. It was a day of many firsts for Team TEDxYouth@HFSI 2021: especially the preparation for the live premier of the event on the HFS International YouTube Channel.

The virtual TEDxYouth event boasted a speaker profile of 6 highly intriguing speakers that came from a variety of backgrounds and professions. The speakers consisted of: Anu Aggarwal; a former Bollywood actress and model, Lt Col Manoj Kumar Sinha ;SM (Retd), an Indian Army veteran, poet and writer, Pujya Priyadarshni; an Indian Foreign Service Officer, Neha Jaiswal; a dynamic Indian model and beauty pageant titleholder, Govind Rathod; an OSCAR Young leader programme trainer and licensed football coach, and lastly, Priyanka Acharya a prolific rhythmic gymnast, who has represented India and is currently a student at HFS International, Powai studying in IBDP Year 2.

In this virtual event, out of our 6 Speakers, for some it was their first ever TEDx Talk, especially IBDP Year 2 Student, Priyanka Acharya, who shared her experiences of representing her country at an international level. With over 200+ registered attendees for TEDxYouth@HFSI, which included international registered attendees from France, the United States of America and Spain, it proved to be a resounding success. It also added to Team TEDxYouth@HFSI 2021 redefining their heights and striving for more by taking things a notch higher as the pandemic presented the opportunity for international registered attendees to virtually stream TEDxYouth@HFSI 2021 via YouTube.

We hope to return soon, with more intriguing profiles and ideas worth spreading! Team TEDxYouth@HFSI sincerely expresses its gratitude towards all of its Speakers and extends its appreciation towards the faculty, staff and all the students involved in ensuring a smooth, comfortable experience despite the challenges of it being a virtual event.
