At TEDxNizamuddin, our goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused, and on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter. Theme: RE-DEFINE. Stuck in the rut of the contemporary urban monotony, the mind craves for something new and different. A craving for new ideas, new solutions, new reasoning and new de
finitions brings us together. With ideas that urge a fresh perspective of the world, we are looking to gather individuals who are reinventing the established, challenging the common and redefining the obvious and adding new dimensions to their respective fields. The theme is open to interpretation, and the intent is to spark amongst the gathered, the inspiration to step out of the box and look at things in a new way, and the drive to act on their ideas and make a difference. We are hoping to bring out a diverse range of ideas attempting to redefine the current scene with respect to science, technology, entertainment, art, design, society and much more. The name: NIZAMUDDIN
Located in the heart of the capital city and named after the13th century Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, the historic neighborhood of Nizamuddin has been an area of eccentric thinkers ever since its conception, more than 700 years ago. Home to a number of medieval and Mughal era tombs and monuments, neighborhood has flourished over the centuries and even today the shrine of Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi is visited by thousands of pilgrims each year. The area lies close to the treasure chest of culture and intellect of the city, that is Lodhi road, which is home to important cultural centers like India Habitat Centre, Alliance Francaise, India International Centre and the likes. With medieval history and contemporary culture in such close vicinity, this area acts as the ideal stage for new ideas to unfold themselves.
