El poder de no rendirse | Manish Singh | TEDxSGU

Manish Singh creció en una pequeña ciudad de Chhattisgarh y siempre soñó con crear un negocio que generara oportunidades para otros. Pese a las dudas, las críticas y los contratiempos personales, exploró distintos caminos y aprendió de cada desafío. Al notar que los estudiantes de zonas desfavorecidas tenían dificultades para acceder a la formación en informática y técnica, trabajó en una plataforma de educación en línea asequible y en iniciativas de apoyo a estudiantes de entornos económicamente vulnerables. La charla destaca la confianza en uno mismo, la perseverancia y la mentoría.

Growing up in a small town in Chhattisgarh, Manish Singh always dreamed of building a business and creating opportunities for others. Despite facing doubts, criticism and personal setbacks, he continued to explore different paths, learning valuable lessons through every challenge. His journey took a meaningful turn when he recognised the barriers preventing students in underserved areas from accessing computer and technical education. This realisation inspired him to work towards making learning more accessible through an affordable online education platform and initiatives supporting students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. In this talk, Manish shares how self-belief, persistence, mentorship and a commitment to solving real-world problems can transform personal struggles into purposeful action. His story is a reminder that success is not always about taking shortcuts or achieving immediate results. Sometimes, it is about staying committed to an idea, nurturing it patiently and creating opportunities that benefit others.
