We live in a world that changes faster than ever before. The skills we once relied on, the beliefs we once held, and the systems we once trusted are constantly being challenged. What worked yesterday may not work today. In such a world, learning alone is not enough. We must also learn to let go, to question old habits, outdated ideas, and rigid ways of thinking. This is the foundation of The Age of Unlearning: growth begins not just by gaining knowledge, but by releasing what no longer serves us.

Unlearning is not about forgetting everything we know. It is about having the courage to question what we have always accepted as true. It means stepping back from fixed beliefs about careers, success, education, and life itself — and staying open to new possibilities. Often, the biggest barrier to progress is not a lack of information, but the weight of old thinking. By unlearning, we create space for fresh ideas, honest reflection, and real change — both in ourselves and in the world around us.

At TEDxNMIMS Indore 2026, we bring together speakers who have truly lived this idea. Each of them challenged convention, broke away from expectations, and rebuilt their thinking from scratch. Their journeys remind us that transformation rarely comes from simply adding more — it comes from removing what holds us back. Through their experiences, we explore what it means to unlearn in order to grow. Join us as we question old assumptions and uncover new paths forward, because sometimes, progress begins the moment we let go.
