Cleartrip is proudly sponsoring TEDx Mumbai Hrush Mar 17, 2010

Last November, a few of us from Cleartrip had the privilege of attending TED India. The event was a watershed moment for each and every person attending the conference. Three days filled with talks and presentations by individuals that are changing the world with their amazing ideas.

We came away from that event transformed–it was a mind-altering, once in a lifetime experience. And although we can’t share the full experience of TED India with others that weren’t there, we can try to recreate the experience in a small way. That’s why we’re thrilled to be sponsoring TEDx Mumbai.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” The program is designed to give communities, organisations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

At TEDx events, unique talks given by live speakers combine with TEDTalks videos to spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

While the content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, all TEDx events have several features in common.

What you’ll find at TEDx Mumbai:

• TED’s celebrated format: A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder — and to provoke conversations that matter
• TEDTalks videos: A minimum of two pre-recorded talks from the acclaimed TEDTalks video series will be shown (these talks are available free on TED.com)
• Bias-free programming: Lack of any commercial, religious or political agenda

The organisers of TEDx Mumbai have put together what promises to be a fantastic and diverse lineup of speakers.

The event takes place on April 3rd at Blue Frog. We tried very hard to find a larger venue so that we could accommodate more people, but were out of luck there. The cost of entry is Rs. 1,000 and includes lunch and beers.

Only 160 seats are available, so if you’d like to come watch the amazing speakers and mingle with an equally amazing audience, register today.

We will also be giving away a few free tickets to the event to some lucky customers. These special guests of Cleartrip will also have the privilege of attending a dinner with the speakers on the evening of April 2 where they can meet each speaker in person and get to know them. If you’d like to score one of these free tickets, stay tuned to our Twitter presence @Cleartrip.
