The Kaizen of Nations: Rapid Wars, Slow Peace | Ambassador Ajay Bisaria | TEDxYouth@JPIS
Ambassador Ajay Bisaria explores the paradox of “rapid wars and slow peace” through a historical and diplomatic lens—from the Treaty of Versailles to modern IGOs like ASEAN and the UN. His talk unpacks the Kaizen of geopolitics: the slow, continuous pursuit of peace in an era of accelerating conflict. From serving as an internal affairs specialist in Moscow during the dissolution of the Soviet Union to shaping India’s “Connect Central Asia” strategy, Ambassador Ajay Bisaria has been at the helm of Indian diplomacy for over three decades. As Private Secretary to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he has been at the heart of shaping India’s foreign policy, economic strategy, and defense initiatives. Whether bridging borders in Berlin, representing India at the World Bank, or deepening cultural ties in Poland, he’s been there, done that—and done it with finesse.

I’m an idealist who loves to explore, try new things, and stay curious about life. I think getting to know myself is a fun and ongoing journey, so I enjoy learning about who I am through conversations with others and moments of self-reflection. In my free time, I love watching dramas and movies—getting lost in different stories and seeing the world from new perspectives. I also enjoy traveling, visiting new places, and experiencing different cultures. Every trip teaches me something new about the world and about myself. Today, I want to share some simple tips that have helped me feel more confident. I hope my experiences can offer you something useful, and through this speech, I’d love for you to get to know a version of me who truly enjoys life and isn’t afraid to try new things!
