TEDxJuhu

In this daily hustle bustle that is our lives, isn't it time we take a step back? 

Take a step back to REFLECT on what our life has been, what are the values that seem to drive us forward? 

Take a step to RETHINK on what has been accepted as the norm, the daily. 

And then, finally, take a step to REBOOT your soul, to empower yourself to rise up from the procrastination monster that holds you back. To rise up from the same-old that keeps you from reaching your potential. 

At TEDxJuhu, you will experience The Art of Relearning, and be able to question every aspect of the World, and hopefully be able to form new perspectives derived from the ideas shared at the platform and through the amazing individuals you will be able to meet. 

Please Note: We are a completely ZERO Wastage event. That means we are trying to minimise the waste created and only generate recyclable waste from the kind of products used to the kind of food served to you at the event.
