TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a non-profit organization devoted to ‘ideas worth spreading.’ TED has brought together people from different fields to share their ingenious views and experiences with the audience. It is currently being hosted in Mysore, India where hundreds of speakers and attendees have gathered for the first TED ever held in South Asia.

Kinnaird College for Women hosted TEDxKinnairdLive yesterday, an independently-organized event for its student body. Students at the Kinnaird College were shown a live screening of the conference that entailed a number of speakers, live music and tech demos. On the first day of the event, students and teachers assembled together to get acquainted with the TED concept. Mallika Sarabhai, Harsha Bhogle and Pranav Mistry spoke with an excited audience from around the world.

Students at the Kinnaird College got an exclusive opportunity to view the conference; thereafter, they gathered in the conference room to talk about their favorite speakers.
