Navigating the Blue Ocean of Unconventional Business | Manish Anand | TEDxIRMA
Blue Ocean businesses defy convention by creating entirely new markets, challenging norms, and reshaping consumer behavior. Without precedents or benchmarks, entrepreneurs in this space face uncertainty, investor skepticism, and cultural resistance. Yet, through vision, adaptability, and ethical practices, they pioneer transformative change with lasting impact. Success demands identifying unmet needs, navigating global trends, and communicating compelling value. These ventures not only drive economic growth but also influence societal progress. Rooted in the spirit of Dreaming Beyond, the Blue Ocean mindset encourages bold thinking and sustainable innovation, empowering entrepreneurs to redefine industries and build meaningful, future-ready enterprises.

- 13:17Fast Fashion = Good? | Elise Zhang | TEDxPhillips AcademyIn the rush to address the rightful critiques of the fast fashion industry, marginalized individuals and emerging nations are overlooked. Fast fashion is breaking economic and social barriers for workers, especially women, by offering improved wages and equipping them to challenge systemic obstacles. The industry also provides a pathway to industrialization for emerging nations. We all have a role to play in reshaping the narrative and driving change.
