In a world racing toward constant change, how do you stay relevant—without losing yourself along the way?In this thoughtful and deeply personal TEDx talk, Madhavi Chalamalasetti, Senior Vice President at Deloitte, invites us on a journey through highways, rearview mirrors, and winding roads to uncover the simple yet powerful idea behind her success: ACTitude—where attitude meets action, and action defines evolution.Drawing from her 28-year career leading transformation across talent, learning, and real estate, Madhavi reflects on life’s critical choices through a beautiful metaphor of driving: the windshield as vision, the steering wheel as strategy, the accelerator as pace, and the rearview mirror as reflection. With stories that weave together leadership, risk-taking, perseverance, and curiosity, she reveals how embracing the “Why” and “Why Not” of every decision helped her not just navigate change—but stay joyfully ahead of it.This talk is an invitation to reflect on your own journey—what makes you come alive, and how you choose to leave your mark in a world where the only constant is change.

In this talk, Sugata Mitra, takes us through over three decades of experience with how children and the internet interact. What influence does the internet have on children and learning? Under what conditions are these influences at their optimal best? How have these influences changed over time? What is to come? From travels around the world, Sugata describes the changes that schools need to make to become meaningful in a world where what we need to know is no longer evident. He describes how to define the goals of education and how to design environments to achieve those goals. From the World Bank funded ‘Hole in the Wall’ project to the million-dollar TED prize funded ‘School in the Cloud’ project, Sugata describes his experiments with children, collaboration and the internet. Through experiments carried out in India, the UK, Australia, Latin America and the USA, we glimpse the new literacies that are shaping and changing the nature of learning itself. ‘On the internet, we know before we learn’, Sugata quotes from a 12-year-old in London. A sentence that forecasts ‘the end of knowing’, as he puts it. Sugata Mitra is one of the most awarded educationists in the world. Amongst his many global awards is the million-dollar TED Prize in 2013. A Ph.D. in theoretical physics, Sugata Mitra retired in 2019 as Professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University in England, after 13 years there including a year in 2012 as Visiting Professor at MIT MediaLab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. He remains Professor Emeritus at NIIT University, Rajasthan, India, the organization where his initial work began. His work on children’s education includes the ‘hole in the wall’ experiment where children access the internet in unsupervised groups, the idea of Self Organised Learning Environments (SOLEs) in schools, the role of experienced educators over the internet in a ‘Granny Cloud’ and the School in the Cloud where children take charge of their learning – anywhere.
