“When Art Becomes Economy: From Hobby to Industry” | Mokshith K | TEDxWorld One School
“Math builds machines. Science builds medicine. But art? Art builds meaning—and meaning builds the future.” Mokshith Konduru is an 11-year-old student from Cambridge Grade 7 who enjoys doing things
independently and with purpose. Deeply passionate about sports like football, cycling,
throwball, and especially go-karting, Mokshith also finds joy in exploring public speaking as a
powerful tool to share ideas and connect with people.
He believes hobbies have the power to shape our future if pursued with dedication. An
advocate for balancing passion and learning, Mokshith encourages others to invent, create,
and give their hobbies the attention they deserve. Trained in skating and keyboard, he aspires
to compose his own rhythms someday.
With the strong support of his family and friends, Mokshith lives by the words, “Do not judge a
book by its cover,” and hopes to grow as someone who is passionate about everything he takes
on. His message to fellow learners: “Don’t study very hard—study smart, and balance it with
sports.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
