Yenugu Shiv Aryan Reddy

Student

Three words “Go-Big or Go-Home.” That’s Shivaryan, an ecstatic individual who is always full of energy (currently limited by the confines of his mortal shell). He’s gonna be talking about the loss of perspective through the strands of time in the upcoming TEDxOakridge Intl School Gachibowli. Apart from such intellectual feats, he’s a huge movie fanatic ranging from Beverly Hills to Jubilee Hills. Along with that, he’s always down for a match of FIFA and a fun debate. He hopes that his talk can make an impact by unfolding the truth that opens eyes of every audience present in the event and is immensely looking forward to his first words on the dias.
