- 13:36Energized by Imagination: The Art of Visualization | Ziyad AlMaayouf | TEDxRiyadhThe Art Of Visualization. “ How Thoughts Shape Destiny” As a history making professional athlete, I’ve learned that victory isn’t earned on fight night, it’s shaped in the quiet moments before, through the mind. This talk explores the powerful connection between visualization, positive self-talk, and belief. I’ll share how vividly imagining success and speaking to myself with intention have become essential tools, not just for performance, but for identity. Visualization is more than daydreaming; it’s mental rehearsal that programs the body to respond with confidence under pressure. And the words we speak to ourselves become the blueprint for what we believe we’re capable of. This isn’t just for athletes, it’s for anyone striving to overcome doubt, fear, or challenge. By learning to see it before we do it, and to speak to ourselves like someone we’re responsible for supporting, we can build a bulletproof successful mindset in any field. The real fight is internal, and the mind, when trained, never stops working in our favor. The first professional boxer from Saudi Arabia, and he remains undefeated.

- 12:19From Farmer to Billionaire | Sankalp Solanki | TEDxNerulIn this inspiring TEDx “Ideas into Action” talk, Sankalp Solanki shares his journey from being a proud farmer to becoming a billionaire entrepreneur. With deep respect for his roots — as his family continues farming even today — Sankalp explains that anyone can achieve anything, from anywhere.He highlights the unique connection between the words Farmer and Billionaire, both ending with the letter R. For many, R represents a race — a race for money, growth, or success. But for Sankalp, R is the race of patience. It is this patience that shaped his mindset, grounded him in values, and enabled him to turn vision into reality.Through MyScaai Bharat Construction, he shares how his company is transforming the dream of home ownership in India.

Born into a humble farmer’s family in Madhya Pradesh, he grew up witnessing the anxiety and unpredictability that families faced while building their homes—escalating costs, indefinite delays, and substandard quality. Determined to change this broken system, Sankalp founded MyScaai Bharat Construction, which today leads a nationwide movement toward smart, transparent, and fixed-cost homebuilding. He also spearheads MySankalp DreamNest and Frigus Technologies, expanding his influence across real estate, construction tech, and digital innovation.
