Power of AI in fostering togetherness | Vinesh Kanaa B | TEDxCPS Chennai Youth
When a desperate call for blood donation failed to reach potential donors in time, it sparked a moment of clarity for this engineering student. Witnessing firsthand how broken our current systems of emergency medical communication can be, they realized that the same artificial intelligence technologies powering our social media feeds could be redirected to serve a higher purpose - saving lives. Their journey from that initial moment of frustration to developing an AI-powered solution demonstrates how technology, when guided by human empathy, can bridge critical gaps in our healthcare systems and create real impact in moments when every second counts. A budding social entrepreneur, aspiring to leverage DL/ML technology in creating AI-driven social enterprises, currently pursuing Computer Science Engineering at VIT. An HMCA awardee, WSC finalist, Vinesh is an ardent believer in “The power of AI in fostering togetherness,” aiming to build a social innovation movement that transforms society for a more just, sustainable, and equitable world.

- 11:09How can we age with grace? | Pankaj Rai | TEDxFIIB WomenWomen face unique changes like Menopause in middle age and are also impacted by family milestones like empty nest/ caregiving. I felt I will examine my own life experiences with women close to me who entered middle age ie my grandma, mom and wife so that I can distil lessons that can be leveraged by my daughters who are in their 20s. What I will share is my story, insights from those and actionable ideas for both women and men who are still young that they can consider incorporating in their thoughts in order to enter middle age with vigour.

- 18:53The art of being invisibly visible | Deepali Wilson | TEDxFIIB WomenThe art of being “invisibly visible.” Is a philosophy which has transformed the way I parent, mentor, and live. It’s especially meaningful as I circle midlife—a phase often seen as a crisis but, in reality, a time full of opportunity. Midlife, for me, is like that tea break during a long road trip. You don’t stop traveling, but you pause to refuel, check the map, and pick the perfect playlist for the journey ahead. It’s not about slowing down but refocusing and rediscovering what truly matters for you in your life.
