Legacy of TEDxPune: A Tradition of Inspiring Ideas
Since its inception, TEDxPune has been a trailblazer in bringing together visionaries, creators, and everyday changemakers to share ideas that push boundaries. Over the years, TEDxPune has evolved into a vibrant community that stands for innovation, inclusivity, and impactful storytelling. From game-changing technology demonstrations to heart-stirring personal narratives, we've consistently showcased the power of “Ideas Worth Spreading” in a local, yet globally resonant manner.

At TEDxPune, we believe that the act of unboxing represents a powerful metaphor for the transformative potential of knowledge and insight. When we unbox something, we reveal its true nature and unlock its full potential. One of the most exciting things about the 'Unbox' theme is the sheer range of ideas and topics that it can encompass. From exploring cutting-edge scientific discoveries to uncovering new insights into the human condition, there is no limit to the kinds of intellectual adventures that can be embarked upon under this banner.
This year, we're focusing on how we can apply this theme to a wide range of topics, from technology and innovation to social justice and environmental sustainability. We believe that by unboxing ideas in various aspects of the society, we can find new ways to create positive change and build a brighter future for all.
Open to Interpretation
Our theme, “Impressions,” invites you to see possibilities in every mark left on the canvas of life. Whether it’s the impression left by a stray thought, a bold piece of art, a chance encounter, or a deeply stirring scientific breakthrough—every impression shapes how we perceive the world and, ultimately, how we act. This open-to-interpretation theme encourages you to define what “Impressions” mean in your own life: from personal growth and social impact to broader global shifts in technology, culture, and the human experience.
Why It Matters:
- Resonance: Ideas carry momentum, leaving ripples that impact communities.
- Reflection: Each talk inspires introspection on how small moments can bring transformative change.
- Action: Real change starts with the impressions we nurture into tangible solutions.
