The Neuroscience and Soul of Human Curiosity | Samarth Pandey | TEDxBistupur
A full scholarship to The Knowledge Society (TKS) became a launchpad for Samarth’s journey among the world’s brightest young minds. At TEDxBistupur 2025, he shares how limited resources can fuel extraordinary innovation. Through his talk, From Constraints to Creativity, Samarth explores how embracing limitations can unlock problem-solving potential, inspire bold ideas, and drive impactful change, especially for the next generation of thinkers.
Samarth Pandey’s journey from a small Indian town to global innovation stages is a story of resilience and creativity. Raised with limited resources, he turned constraints into opportunities—spending hours in a modest school lab, driven by curiosity and purpose. His perseverance led to national innovation awards, aerospace research publications, and recognition at Regeneron ISEF. With a focus on real-world impact, he built drones for ecological monitoring and AI solutions for societal problems. A full scholarship to The Knowledge Society (TKS) marked a turning point, where he thrived among global innovators.
