Old has Gold: The Adult Renaissance | Mohit Jain | TEDxCaledonian Intl School Youth
In “Old has Gold: The Adult Renaissance,” Mohit Jain celebrates the unique potential of adulthood as a period of reinvention and growth. He challenges the idea that our best self-development happens only in youth, arguing instead that adults carry wisdom, perspective, and lived experience that make this stage of life rich with possibility. Jain explores how societies undervalue maturity, and offers ways adults can rediscover joy, purpose, and creativity — cultivating a renaissance of the self that honors both the past and the possibilities ahead. Mohit Jain is the Executive Director and a Board member of the Times of India Group (BCCL), one of India’s oldest and largest media conglomerates. He leads the company’s operations and is a core member of its Executive Committee, guiding strategy and business performance across diverse media platforms.In 2021‑22, Mohit served as President of the Indian Newspaper Society (INS), a key industry body dedicated to press freedom, publisher collaboration, and the sustainability of India’s press sector.He also sits on the board of the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), which certifies circulation figures for publishers, advertisers, and agencies, helping ensure transparency in media metrics.
