What is the theme for TEDxPune 2016?
The theme for this year’s event is: WHY NOT!
Something that is usually used to express agreement will now be used to raise questions, questions that affect us, limit us and make us who we are. The entire concept of #WHYNOT is to erase the boundaries of our limitations and drive us to explore uncharted territories. The purpose of this expression is to erase doubt and create solutions that change the course of our lives.
