Is luck just chance, or can it be created? In this upbeat and insightful TEDx talk, Ruchira Rangaprasad breaks down the myth of “being in the right place at the right time” and reframes luck as something we manufacture through action. As the co-founder of a nutrition startup, she shares how she went from knowing nothing about the field to becoming an expert, all by showing up, again and again. Ruchira offers four powerful principles, hard work, vision, planning, and dedication, to help anyone improve their “luck probability.” Whether your dream is to start a business, sing on stage, or simply do more of what matters, this talk reminds you that change starts with one small action... and a little more time in the right direction. “For me, luck happened because I kept showing up — and it can for you too.” — Ruchira Rangaprasad Ruchira Rangaprasad is a 22-year-old entrepreneur and marketing strategist shaping Northern Ireland’s startup scene.
