In this TED talk Mr. Sudarshan, the speaker, shares his perspective as an MBA student and President at Wizoona, reflecting on how personal branding has impacted modern identity and professional life. Personal branding has evolved from a career tool into a cultural expectation, often pushing individuals to curate idealized versions of themselves rather than embracing authenticity. While it can empower, it also risks creating pressure, performance anxiety, and loss of self. The key is to shift from perfection to purpose—building a brand rooted in values, growth, and real connection. Sudarshan, President of Wizoona, is a visionary leader passionate about innovation, education, and making a meaningful impact. He thrives on challenges, creativity, and continuous learning, always seeking to bridge education, business, and technology. With expertise in business analytics, project management, and strategic problem-solving, he excels at turning ideas into transformative change. A dedicated mentor, Sudarshan is always eager to explore new opportunities and drive progress. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
