- 16:54La batalla invisible: Ciencia, humanidad y esperanza | Felipe Couñago | TEDxAlbaceteSin duda los avances tecnológicos en medicina y en particular en oncología, nos han permitido diagnosticar antes, tratar mejor y vivir más. Sin embargo, a veces olvidamos que detrás de cada innovación debe seguir estando la persona. En esta charla reflexiono sobre cómo el éxito profesional y la excelencia técnica no siempre van de la mano del sentido, y sobre la necesidad de redefinir qué entendemos por éxito cuando trabajamos con pacientes, enfermedad y vida real. A través de experiencias personales y profesionales, propongo una mirada más humana de la medicina, donde la tecnología, la investigación y la vocación médica solo cobran pleno significado cuando están al servicio de las personas. Felipe Couñago is a medical doctor specializing in Radiation Oncology with a robust clinical, academic, and research career.

- 11:54Born from Grit, Raising with Grace | Simran Rai | TEDxNHVPS YouthStory of a journey standing as a testament to the power of opportunity from Sarvam Shakti foundation, and inner strength. With grit and grace, she shows that girls from underserved communities can rise into confident leaders, given the right support. She reminds us to see them not as charity cases, but as “Shaktis”, bearers of strength, capable of uplifting entire communities. Necessary approvals have been obtained by the foundation. Simran grew up watching her father work long, exhausting days as a daily wage earner. Life around her was chaotic and filled with the pressure of survival, yet her father held one unwavering belief that his daughter deserved a chance to learn and grow beyond what society expected of her. That chance arrived through Sarvam Shakti. There, Simran entered a world of movement, discipline, health, confidence, and expression. Dance, yoga, nutrition, and self-awareness became tools that helped her shed the labels of “marginalised” or “disadvantaged,” and rewrite the story society had written for her. Today, she speaks about the power of opportunity; not charity or sympathy, but true opportunity that sees a girl for who she can become. Simran reminds us that compassion and curiosity exist in every child, regardless of background. All they need is someone to notice, believe, and give that first chance. When they do, girls like Simran don’t just rise; but they shine This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
