HI Chitransh,

Thank you for applying to host a TEDx event; we appreciate your enthusiasm for the platform.

The TEDx team has declined your application for a TEDx license as it appears that this event is not the right fit for the platform. TEDx events, like TED conferences, should have a wide array of diverse speakers talking on a variety of issues intended to intrigue and educate the audience. No TEDx event should focus on technology and business just as no TED conference would. Here is the language from our general rules page:

• Spirit/purpose: Your event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: multidisciplinary, focused on the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.

• Focus/theme: TEDx event themes should be multidisciplinary and broad. TEDx events must feature a diversity of speakers from across several disciplines that address a variety of topics. These topics should not fall under a single subject.

• Format: A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder -- and to provoke conversations that matter. (The typical presentation should be an 18-minute talk by a single presenter. No talk should exceed 18 minutes. No panels. No break-out sessions. Usually: No podium.) You may not pay your speakers to present.

We encourage you to learn more about the TEDx platform by participating in the TEDx community by attending TEDx events in your region. We additionally suggest exploring the TEDx blog to better understand the structure and scope of these events.

You can also learn more about TED and TEDx events by contacting one of our TEDx Ambassadors in India who have an excellent understanding of the platform.

All the best,

Rachel

I dont think so we can organize TEDx this time as these people have rejected our application for TWO times. 

We can anyways have a lecture series with eminent speakers ,
