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

L. C. Singh, fondateur et président exécutif de Nihilent, raconte une nuit de 1979 où il est arrivé à Karachi sans visa après avoir fui Téhéran, alors en proie à la révolution. Il explique comment l'hostilité d'un officier de l'immigration s'est dissipée lorsqu'ils ont découvert un amour commun pour les ghazals. À partir de ce souvenir et d'une frayeur due à des turbulences en vol, il soutient que l'émotion façonne notre perception de la réalité et qu'il faut savoir reconnaître ce filtre plutôt que de lui faire aveuglément confiance.

• Arrivée à Karachi en 1979 sans visa, après Téhéran
• Un goût commun pour les ghazals change l'attitude d'un officier
• L'émotion comme filtre de notre perception de la réalité

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."
