Some women don't just take up space.
They reshape it.

And on 28th March, Jamshedpur witnessed exactly that.

TEDxBistupur Women 2026 — She Leads.

This was just the beginning.

Follow us for what's coming next, because the best ideas are still on their way.

TEDxBistupur, where ideas don't just spread, they stay.

One woman. One ghat. Thirty years of neglect undone.

Temsutula Imsong didn't arrive in Varanasi with a campaign plan. She arrived with conviction, and she started where most people wouldn't dare. A ghat no one had touched in three decades. A city that had simply learned to look past it.

What followed was not just a clean ghat. It was three million tweets, a Prime Minister's public salute, and Varanasi earning the title of India's cleanest Ganga town.

But Temsutula will be the first to tell you: none of it was extraordinary. It was just one quiet, stubborn refusal to walk away. Repeated, every single day.

At 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗕𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, she brings the truth that has guided every meter of her work.

Change doesn't come from above. It comes from whoever decides to begin.

A meter of cleanliness. Miles of impact.

She studied the universe at its smallest scale. Then turned that lens inward.

Dr. Samita Bhattacharjee, PhD in Theoretical Physics from IIT Kanpur, postdoctoral researcher at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and founder of Conscious Leadership Lab, has spent 25 years asking a question most leaders never dare to: what if the real problem isn't the system, but the mind running it?

From Tata Steel to Europe's boardrooms, she has watched brilliant leaders sabotage themselves with unconscious patterns they couldn't see. So she built a framework to change that, weaving neuroscience, quantum physics, and spiritual wisdom into something rare: leadership that transforms from the inside out.

Her Whole Brain Leadership Framework doesn't teach you how to lead others better. It teaches you how to know yourself more honestly.

At 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗕𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, she brings the question we keep avoiding.

The biggest leadership challenge isn't out there. It's the unconscious programming within us.

📍 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲: 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗽𝘂𝗿

The future of leadership begins within.

She had every reason to stop. She chose to run instead.

Vini Bhagat, alumna of NIT Rourkela and XLRI Jamshedpur, and a professional at Tata Steel, knows what it means to face the kind of loss that changes everything. She could have let grief write the rest of her story. Instead, she laced up and ran into the unknown.

Within months, she was running ultras at 15,000 feet in Ladakh. Then across the frozen Pangong Lake in sub-zero temperatures, setting a Guinness World Record. But the real record she broke was the one inside her own mind.

At 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗕𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, she invites each of us to face the mountain we've been avoiding.

📅 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
📍 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲: 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗽𝘂𝗿

Some stories break you open. This one will put you back together.

She left software to build something far more human.

Shikha Jain, founder of Neev Herbal Handmade Soaps, didn't build a business. She built a doorway, and held it open for every rural woman waiting on the other side of it.

Since 2007, Neev has been more than a khadi village industry. It has been a declaration: that honest work done with intention can change the course of a woman's life.

Engineer. Entrepreneur. Social changemaker. And through it all, someone who never stopped asking what freedom truly looks like for a woman in this country.

At 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗕𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, she brings her answer.
Not Just a Commodity, But Our Freedom.

🗓️ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Some talks inform you. This one will move you.

📅 Date: 28th March, 2026
📍 Venue: Center for Excellence, Jamshedpur

This is your invitation.

She didn't just climb the system. She shaped the standards it runs on.

Ritu Mathur, Former Director of the Confederation of Indian Industry and Head of the National Foundation for Corporate Governance, has spent 35 years doing what few dare to: walking into powerful rooms and leaving them fundamentally changed.

From the B20 ESG Action Council to the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group, her work has defined how India leads, governs, and holds itself accountable. Through Chrysalis Sutra, she now builds women leaders who are not just capable, but deeply rooted.

At 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗕𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, she asks the question we've been too busy to sit with: what if everything we need to lead well, we already carry within us?

🗓️ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
📍 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲: 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗽𝘂𝗿

Some voices inform. Hers transforms.
