In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Dr. V.K. Jain

Senior physician & Heart health specialist

Dr. V.K. Jain is a senior physician and heart health specialist dedicated to bridging India’s emergency response gap. With over 45 years of medical experience, he has led a nationwide campaign for CPR awareness and AED accessibility. He has trained over 2 lakh individuals in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), ensuring that common citizens are empowered to act during life-threatening situations. However, he believes awareness alone is not enough—policy change is crucial. While fire extinguishers are legally mandated in public spaces, AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators)—devices that can immediately restore heart function during cardiac arrest—are still not a compliance requirement in India.
