Catalyst: Moments that Spark Unforgettable Change.

Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to change everything. A conversation, an idea, or a bold decision that creates a ripple effect. These sparks shape who we are, how we see the world, and the paths we choose. TEDxKIITUniversity 2025 is about celebrating these life-changing moments. It’s about stories of people who chose to act when it mattered most, innovations that shifted industries, and simple decisions that transformed lives in ways nobody expected.

The speakers will share their journeys, i.e. the sparks that ignited revolutions or evolutions in their thinking, personal breakthroughs, and movements that made a difference. They’ll inspire us to brainstorm on the moments that shaped our own lives and encourage us to be catalysts for change in the world around us. This is a call to embrace those sparks, big or small, that have the power to change everything. Because sometimes, a spark is all it takes.
