We all know that TED is coming to Mysore, India later this year. As part of the event, TED is looking to select 100 TED Fellows.
TED Fellows are remarkable thinkers and doers who have shown unusual accomplishment, exceptional courage, moral imagination and the potential to increase positive change in their respective fields. They can be innovators in technology, entertainment, design, science, film, art, music, entrepreneurship or the NGO community, among other pursuits.
The application to apply for a TEDIndia Fellow opened on April 20th and runs till June 15th.
The TEDIndia Fellows program will have international representation with a distinctly South Asian majority, with approximately 75% of the Fellows representing the South Asian region, and 25% representing other regions of the world. South Asia is defined as including the countries of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Myanmar, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka.
For more information about how individuals may apply for a TEDIndia Fellowship, please visit

If you know a great person who fits the bill, please do highlight them. You can either directly nominate them or mention them in the comments below. Lets aim at bringing the hidden gems out in the limelight. Great achievers deserve the spotlight.

Kiruba, I thoroughly enjoyed your talk at the Web Innovation Summit in Delhi, last week. And yours was the speech that grabbed my attention the most. You have an amazing ability to engage the audience and that I think is the key differenciator from other ‘speakers’, who unfortunately take that title too literally. I think it would be wonderful to have you as a TED speaker, if not a TED fellow.
Thanks for the information about TEDIndia Fellows program. I know two people who fit the bill. Don’t know if they might make the cut but will definitely nominate them for the program. Thanks again for letting us know.
Anil K Gupta who has played an extremely important role in creating an impact at the grass roots level.
