Hey guys!

Our last speaker, Agni Jasthi!

A charming personality coupled with a baritone voice always makes for a formidable combination; and no other combination describes Agni Jasthi so aptly.

Having been integral to the setup of "18minus", an organization which aims to spread political awareness among citizens, Agni is more than experienced to impart facts and opinions on the socio political spectrum to the general public.

An avid MUNner with a perfect placement record, he exudes confidence with an indomitable stance on the subject thereby making him the ideal speaker at this year's TEDxYouth@Jayanagar. Having been interested in discussions in law and society, he not only makes for a powerful conversationalist but also a force to learn and understand from.

Hey guys!
We are thrilled to present our fifth speaker, Reshma Valliappan.

Reshma Valliappan, also known as Val Resh, is an artist-advocate fighting for the right to be granted, what for most others is a given -full legal capacity.

She is the co-founder of Mind Arcs/The Red Door which aims at creating spaces for more users/survivors (of psychiatry) to come out of the closet and speak about their experiences along with playing peer support to each other. She is the author of 'Fallen, Standing -My Life As A Schizophrenist', the first part of her memoir. Her paper titled 'Art Within Madness' was also published in a research journal 'Samyukta'. Her story of living with schizophrenia without medications 'A Drop of Sunshine' has been screened in India and other countries. She is also an Ashoka Fellow, an Ink Fellow and has received the WIN Pune Woman of the Year Award along with SCARF-PII Media for Mental Health Award.

During her free time she teaches a combination of martial arts (Tai Chi & VarmaKalai), practices yoga, counsels, and the list is endless! Otherwise, she spends her time - by learning the secrets of the universe by observing her cats and talking to nature while doing tandavs when it rains.

Presenting to you, our fourth speaker-
Kiran Sreedhar is an engineer by qualification but the rebel in him had quite a different dream. A dream to be successful in a field which was not in sync with engineering. Being a victim of the standard Indian middle class practice, he is not anti-education but anti-'forced' education.

The engineer in him was fascinated with the traditional path of pursuing educational opportunities overseas, as the average Indian usually is, but today he finds himself travelling to the Radio Indigo 91.9 shack every morning with a smile on his face and satisfaction in his heart.

By the words of Kiran Sreedhar, "My eyes told each other, below the both of us lies a tongue which has the potential to excel, go ahead and unleash mayhem! Thus the vision and I made the mic my best friend."

We're honoured to present our first speaker, Anushka Jadhav.

A Director at No Country For Women (NCFW) , an organization aimed at changing the ineffective treatment of gender, s*x and s*xuality in India, Anushka gives workshops in schools and colleges all over the country and provides budding change makers with the conceptual tools necessary to develop long-term solutions. She systematically creates and sustains conversation about everyday gender biases that otherwise go unnoticed. She grew up in Mumbai and studied Anthropology and English Literature at St.Xavier’s College. Her primary fields of research are interventions in early childhood learning, and gender and space. She believes that all individuals should be able to demand a life of equal opportunity without having to negotiate their existence, police their movements and compromise their safety. She is also a trained Kathak dancer and likes to explore the relationship between everyday performance, stylised performance and gender performativity.

In her free time, she enjoys dipping her fingers in paint and taking walks alone in the city.
