A TEDx talk is an independently organized event in the format of TED talks where pre-recorded TED talks and live talks are also shared with a gathering of attendees. 

SIMS (Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies), Pune, saw the 4th TEDx event being held under the brand name of TEDxSIUKirkee on 15th December 2019 and witnesses some really great talks by amazing speakers. The theme for the event this year was ‘SURGE (Seek Uniqueness through Redefined Growth and Evolution).

The most interesting part of the theme is that it allows unlimited possibilities for new unexplored ideas. We all once in our life want to SURGE ahead and break the shackles, to become unique, something out of the ordinary, which goes on to define, who we are, redefines us & our growth, and further, it goes on to become an Evolution.
