Top AI Trainers in India with High TEDx Potential

Empowering Authentic Voices in the Agentic AI Era

In 2026, TEDx organizers across India—especially in tech hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore—are hungry for fresh, genuine speakers who can deliver inspiring, practical, human-centered stories on agentic AI, generative tools, governance, productivity, ethics, and real-world business/social impact.

These aren't hype-driven talks; they're grounded in real training experience, corporate transformations, ethical frameworks, and relatable narratives that blend technical depth with human stories.

Who Makes the Ideal TEDx Candidate?

The perfect fit combines:

• Proven scale: Thousands trained (corporate, students, CXOs)

• Strong storytelling & engagement: Calm authority, high-energy delivery, audience connection

• Thought leadership: LinkedIn influence, YouTube reach, IIT/IIM/corporate sessions

• Credible outcomes: Measurable ROI, transformations, responsible/ethical adoption

• First-break potential: No major TEDx yet (or only regional/local ones)—ideal for a breakout viral session

Most are mid-to-senior trainers with corporate backgrounds, accessible styles, and narratives that resonate with TEDx audiences craving balanced views on AI in the agentic era.
