Srishti Singh, in her TEDxCVS talk, delved into the pervasive issue of the "Fear of Judgment" and how it impacts our lives, decisions, and self-expression. She explored how this fear often holds people back from pursuing their goals, expressing their true selves, or taking risks. The fear of being judged by others can stem from societal expectations, cultural norms, or personal insecurities, and it can manifest in various aspects of life—whether in professional settings, personal relationships, or creative pursuits. “It’s okay if you fall down and lose your spark. Just make sure that when you get back up, you rise as the whole damn fire.”With the spirit of this quote, we would like to introduce our speaker Shrishti Singh. Shrishti is fierce, strong, and full of fire. At the age of only 20, she is the co-founder of the world's first multi-chain WaaS platform. Not only this, but she is also the web3 lead for her company. Starting a company of your own can be a daunting and mythical task but Shristi has managed to do it with grace. An inspiration to many, she is bound to become your favourite with her zeal and moving personality. Shrishti believes in staying true to your life's motive and never giving up. After all, It is the courage to start that counts. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
