TEDxPCU

TEDxPCU 2026 is a university TEDx event created around the theme “आविर्भाव (Āvirbhāva): Ideas Manifested.” The theme explores the journey of an idea from its early stage of curiosity and discovery to becoming something tangible that can create an impact.

The event is scheduled for 9 October 2026 at Pimpri Chinchwad University in Pune. As an independently organised TEDx event, TEDxPCU brings the spirit of sharing ideas worth spreading to the university community and its wider audience.

The central idea behind this edition is built around three stages: Discover, Emerge and Impact. It looks at how questions can challenge existing thinking, how raw ideas can become structured and actionable, and how those ideas can eventually influence industries, communities and everyday life.

TEDxPCU is designed to create a space for meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives and connections between people from different backgrounds. The event is expected to bring together students, professionals, thinkers, creators and individuals interested in innovation, leadership and new ways of looking at the world.

For students and young professionals especially, the event can be an opportunity to hear different perspectives, question familiar ideas and think about how their own ideas can move beyond imagination into action.

Whether you are interested in innovation, leadership, technology, creativity, education, entrepreneurship or social impact, TEDxPCU offers a platform to explore ideas and conversations that can encourage new ways of thinking.
