Imagine the legendary king of prosperity and equality standing under the red spotlight, speaking to a captivated audience. What stories would he tell?

As a curator, when we imagine on stage, we see him standing not just as a legendary king of folklore, but as a philosopher guiding us through the deeper ethos of . His presence commands attention—not through theatrics, but through the weight of wisdom. The stage is set to reflect Kerala’s lush landscapes, yet the focus remains on the story he is about to tell: a story that transcends a mere harvest festival.

At TEDxPunkunnam Thrissur, we believe these aren’t just stories from the past — they are ideas worth spreading today. And we are on the lookout for the Maveli-alike among our future — visionaries, changemakers, and dreamers who can shape into a truly God’s Own Country in every sense.

In his talk at TEDxPunkunnam Thrissur, Dr Sudarsan Tamang proves that purpose knows no boundaries.

A nanotechnology scientist from Darjeeling, a record-breaking runner, a community leader, and a prolific songwriter—he blends science, activism, and art into one remarkable journey.

Recognised as a Youth Icon by the Election Commission of India, Dr Tamang founded Project Life to promote healthy living and community support. His leadership shone during the 2023 Teesta flash floods, where he led relief efforts on the ground. From winning marathons to setting records like running 185 km from Gangtok to Gurudongmar at 17,800 feet, his achievements are as inspiring as his commitment to others.

Through over 60 original songs, scientific work, and social initiatives, Dr. Tamang’s message is clear—the most meaningful breakthroughs happen not just in labs or on podiums, but on the long, uphill roads we walk (or run) for others.

In his talk at TEDxPunkunnam Thrissur, Shintaro Tanaka shares an unexpected journey—from the serene countryside of Ogawa, Japan to the vibrant heart of Kerala. What inspired this move? A film. A feeling. And eventually, a flavour.

Captivated by India since watching Gandhi as a teenager, Shintaro’s admiration turned into action. After running two cafés and exploring organic farming in Japan, he cycled into Kerala in 2023—and found home. Today, through his café OGAWA, he introduces Keralites to the soul of Japan with handcrafted Udon noodles and authentic Japanese cuisine.

His story is a beautiful reminder that food isn’t just nourishment—it’s connection. "A bridge between cultures. A journey of belonging."
