Favorite:

Dr Vijay Bhatkar is one of the most acclaimed and decorated scientists of India. He has received several national and international awards, fellowships of professional societies and public recognitions including Padmashri & Maharashtra Bhushan Awards

He is best known as the architect of PARAM supercomputers and bringing IT to the masses through a wide range of path-breaking initiatives, such as GIST multilingual technology, MKCL's MS-CIT computer literacy program and Education To Home.

He is fondly(and rightly) called "The father of Indian Supercomputers"

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
