Drawing from her own experiences of rediscovering health, purpose, and balance, she shows how small, consistent choices in food, movement, and self-care can lead to profound shifts in mental and physical well-being.Blending science with simplicity, she reminds us that food is not just fuel, but information for the body and mind. With warmth and clarity, she urges us to keep our habits simple, our goals sustainable, and our growth intentional, because true transformation begins not with grand resolutions, but with everyday awareness.

- 15:11You Don't Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Ask For | Pratham Jindal | TEDxPURC LudhianaThrough humour, honesty, and hard-earned lessons, Pratham Jindal reveals the psychology behind why most people never ask for what they want — and how breaking through the Wall (fear), the Fog (assumption), and the Mirror (ego) can unlock life-changing opportunities.This talk isn’t just about business. It’s about courage, communication, and confidence — and how a single question can open doors you never thought possible. Without investors, family wealth, or venture capital, Pratham Jindal scaled Praper Media into a 75+ employee company. His experience in bootstrapping a business makes him a role model for self-made entrepreneurs. His story isn’t just about success—it’s about exponential growth. In just a few years, he scaled from earning INR 7,000 per month to running an 8-figure agency, proving the power of persistence and smart execution. Coming from Goniana, Punjab—a place with limited opportunities—he overcame infrastructure challenges, including poor internet, and no industry exposure, to build an international company. His story challenges societal norms and inspires young minds to think beyond the conventional.
