The Lens You Didn't Know You Were Wearing | LC Singh | TEDxBocconiUMumbai

L. C. Singh, fundador y presidente ejecutivo de Nihilent, recuerda una noche de 1979 en la que llegó a Karachi sin visado tras huir de Teherán, en plena revolución. Describe cómo la hostilidad de un funcionario de inmigración se disipó al descubrir que compartían el amor por los ghazales. A partir de ese recuerdo y de un susto por turbulencias en pleno vuelo, sostiene que la emoción moldea la forma en que construimos la realidad y que reconocer ese filtro, en lugar de confiar en él a ciegas, es clave para el liderazgo y la tecnología.

• Llegada a Karachi en 1979 sin visado, tras salir de Teherán
• Un gusto compartido por los ghazales cambia la actitud de un funcionario
• La emoción como lente con la que construimos la realidad

L. C. Singh is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Nihilent. In this talk, L. C. Singh revisits a night in 1979 when he landed in Karachi without a visa, fleeing revolution-torn Tehran, and found an immigration officer's hostility dissolve the moment they discovered a shared love of ghazals. From that memory and a mid-air turbulence scare years later, he unpacks how emotion is the lens through which we construct reality and why learning to recognise that lens, rather than trust it blindly, may be the most important skill leadership and technology can offer us. "L. C. Singh is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Nihilent, and an alumnus of both IIT BHU and Harvard Business School. A technologist, filmmaker, photographer, and author, his work today explores the intersection of leadership, Emotion AI, and human-centred technology. He is the author of Things We Don't See and The Collapse of Illusions, both of which challenge conventional ways of thinking. His journey is rooted in questioning assumptions and looking beyond what is immediately visible. Drawing from technology, philosophy, and lived experience, he would offer audiences a thought-provoking perspective on leadership, perception, and the ideas that quietly shape our reality."
