TEDxIPSA Indore 2026 was the third edition of our independently organized TEDx event and the first where I held the license and full operational accountability. As Licensee, I owned everything: vendor negotiations, budget management, venue setup, live-day logistics, and compliance with TEDx global standards.

I built and led a 40-person cross-functional operations team from scratch, structured across 7 sub-teams with 4 direct team leads. A delegation framework designed to eliminate bottlenecks and keep execution clean under pressure. I also authored the organization's first formal SOPs, deploying Trello and Google Workspace to centralize task tracking across the entire team.

The event brought together 300+ attendees and 6 speakers, and was delivered with zero critical incidents. The third consecutive edition to hit that standard.

TEDxIPSA Indore 2025 was where I moved from supporting execution to owning a core function. As Curation Head, I led the entire speaker pipeline. Identifying candidates, running outreach, managing communication, reviewing content, and running rehearsals in the weeks leading up to the event.

Eight speakers took the stage in front of 300+ attendees. My job was to make sure every talk was as sharp on the day as it was in the brief. That meant weeks of feedback cycles, rehearsal sessions, and staying close to each speaker's preparation. The 2025 edition was also the first time TEDxIPSA Indore introduced a structured curation process, which has since become the foundation for how we select and develop speakers.

HACK संगम was IPS Academy's first-ever hackathon and building something from zero is a different kind of challenge. As part of the core team, I handled participant communication, documentation, and the end-to-end coordination that kept 150+ participants moving through an 8-hour experience without friction.

The goal wasn't just to run an event. It was to prove that our college could host a serious technical competition. We did. The event ran clean, participants stayed engaged throughout, and it laid the groundwork for a culture of building at IPSA that didn't exist before.

TEDxIPSA Indore 2024 was the first-ever TEDx event at IPS Academy and I was part of the team that made it happen. Working across curation and coordination, I collaborated with multiple internal teams to ensure the event came together seamlessly. 300+ attendees, 6 speakers, and a first edition that set the standard for everything that followed.

Being part of the founding team of something that has now run three consecutive years, each one bigger and tighter than the last, is something I carry with real pride.
