Designing Identity Through Nature and Fashion | Ranna Gill | TEDxSPIPS Indore
What if clothing could speak the language of the soul? In this inspiring and deeply personal talk, Ranna Gill—renowned fashion designer and entrepreneur—invites us into a world where design becomes a medium of storytelling, identity, and spiritual inquiry. Reflecting on her nomadic childhood shaped by her father’s army postings, classical dance training, and global education, Ranna explores how constant change taught her resilience, adaptability, and creativity. She weaves her life story with ancestral wisdom and modern reflections, asking us to look beyond transformation and toward transcendence. Drawing parallels between the boundless ocean and the vastness of human potential, she reveals how fashion, language, and culture can help us rediscover meaning in a world that often feels lost in the noise. This talk is an ode to beauty, purpose, and the timeless quest to design a life that matters. Ranna Gill is a leading fashion designer and CEO of her eponymous global label. Known for blending Indian artistry with contemporary silhouettes, her designs celebrate vibrant prints, timeless elegance, and international appeal — redefining how Indian fashion is worn around the world.

Un piccolo evento che diventa il punto di partenza per una riflessione molto più ampia su come il nostro denaro sia fragile, controllato e, spesso, fuori dal nostro controllo.Luca ci porta poi dall’Italia all’Argentina, raccontando la storia di Alvaro, impiegato in banca che racconta come ogni persona in Argentina non potesse prelevare più di una piccola cifra giornaliera, bloccati da regolamenti imposti per evitare il collasso bancario del paese.Da questi episodi personali e globali emerge una domanda: il denaro che usiamo ogni giorno, è davvero nostro?È qui che entra in scena Bitcoin: uno strumento con regole semplici, trasparenti e uguali per tutti. Una rete che non dipende da governi o banche, pensata per proteggere il valore e la libertà delle persone in tempi di crisi improvvise.
