Once upon a time, five different people from five different walks of life with five different journeys created five unique stories. In a world full of ticking clocks, they took charge of their stories without losing track of time. Though their journeys contrasted as much as day and night, they were all bonded by the uniquely constant variable that is time. We are delighted to announce our theme for this year: Time, representing endurance, change and impact.

Time is the common thread among all of us. It may be comprised of seconds,
minutes and hours but it can be as quick and pulsating as a racing car or as
gentle and meandering like a stream, true to the phrase ‘Time and tide wait for
no man.’ We all feel time pass. Time cannot be touched, seen or heard, but it is
in the memories of the past and the anticipations of the future. We don’t choose
how quickly time flies, only how we react to it. True to its dynamic and
evolving nature, it can be both a healer and teacher. What time has so very
elegantly explained is that it cannot be explained.

Through our speakers, we wish to tell stories to inspire, but also show off the
value of time, and just a little patience. It is just a matter of time until we can
share these stories with you, but only time will tell… Why do the things that bring us joy bring us joy? And how do we bring joy and excellence to everything we do? Very few people have the ability to ask and understand these deep questions, but one of the few who can is Dr. Ramya Ranganathan. Dr. Ranganathan works extensively with the questions of motivation, stress and wellbeing while conducting programmes with multiple organizations and working as an adjunct faculty at IIM Bangalore. Coming from an academic background that spans IIT Madras, IIM Ahmedabad and London School of Business, she worked for blue chip companies in the corporate sector before leaving it behind to explore more fundamental questions. Her studies have led to research spanning across the fields of psychology, philosophy, theology and neuroscience to find the question, “Why do people work?” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
