How to Find Your Power When You Feel Like a Zero | Nilima Chowdhury | TEDxGHRCEMN
Dr. Nilima Roy Chowdhury shares her deeply personal story of overcoming childhood insecurities, isolation, and self-doubt. She reframes "zero" not as an end, but as a powerful starting point, drawing parallels to Nagpur's "Zero Mile Stone." She reveals three life-transforming techniques: self-love as a "psychological necessity," "life balancing" for forward momentum, and "active hope" to find positivity in negative situations. Hailing from the culturally rich yet underrepresented state of Tripura, Dr. Nilima Roy Chowdhury has transformed personal adversity into a powerful mission. A former corporate professional who found healing through yoga and mindfulness, she went on to establish Nirvana Nilima Wellness Pvt. Ltd., a global wellness brand that has positively impacted over 15,000 lives across 25+ countries.
