St. Mira's is a girl's college set in the heart of the city of Pune. The college aims to produce graduates capable of independent lifelong learning, to provide an environment wherein all stakeholders can achieve their full potential, and proactivity and progression are the hallmark features of the college. These values are easily relatable to that of TEDx, and this is what makes it an ideal atmosphere to host a TEDx Event. TEDxStMirasCollege is a BBA initiative that is aimed at sharing transformative ideas. It is a collection of thinkers, innovators, explorers and learners that are always looking to expand horizons, change perceptions and trigger action. TEDxStMirasCollege revolves around the theme "Elephant in the room". The elephant in the Room is a common phrase that is generally used to address an awkward topic that is not spoken about but there is a need to talk about it. In a country like India, there are several such topics that hide behind the curtains. We feel the need to address these topics, especially in a girl's college. With the rise in the awareness and action for Women Empowerment, it is important for women to be courageous and bold enough to not only burst the little bubble they are in right now, and actively think about it. St. Mira's, being a girls college, actively recognises the need for this at a local level.
