Our Story
In April 2017, while watching a TED Talk "Thoughts on humanity, fame and love | Shah Rukh Khan", Aqib Sikandar, a student at that time got to know about TED Talks. After further exploration of TED's website, he got to know about TEDx and how universities around his had been organizing TEDx events. So, he decided to organize one in his own alma mater, Government College University, Lahore. He then started working on it and after some initial preparations, he shared the idea with his class fellow Khuldoon Ali Raza. Together, they formed a team and they called the original team "The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Team" or simply The S-Team. With eyes set on their goal, they started working tirelessly day and night and the rest is history.
"What makes us different is our determination to create larger than life experiences for everybody. Be it our teams, our speakers or even our attendees. Sometimes we'll fail, other times we'll succeed but no matter what, who the organizer is or which year it is, this philosophy will always remain the core of our vision for TEDxGCULahore. And that is something I truly believe, is our legacy."
