Imagination is the new currency | Deepak Kumar | TEDxChennai Institute Of Technology
In this inspiring TEDx talk, Mr. Deepak Kumar — Senior Director of Customer Engagement at Novo Nordisk — explores a powerful idea for the AI age: "Imagination is the New Currency."As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and redefine how we work, Deepak makes a compelling case that our greatest asset isn't speed, data, or even efficiency — it's human imagination. In a future where machines can replicate logic and automate tasks, it is our ability to dream, create, and innovate that truly sets us apart.Blending strategic insight with a visionary outlook, Deepak urges us to move beyond fear of automation and embrace the limitless potential of our minds. He invites the audience to see imagination not as a soft skill, but as a strategic force — one that fuels breakthroughs, builds empathy, and drives meaningful progress.This talk is a reminder that in an increasingly intelligent world, the most powerful tool we possess is the uniquely human spark of creativity.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
