Ishita Katyal, a 10-year-old resident of Pune, has become the youngest Indian to speak at the TED Youth Conference in New York . As reported by The Indian Express, Ishita who studies in 5th standard at the Vibgyor High School in Balewadi, delivered a 4-minute speech on 'What do you want to be now', a topic that raised important points regarding how children too can make a difference, irrespective of their age.Ishita had first attended a TEDx Pune event back in 2013, and she never looked back. She went on to clear two Skype interviews with Global Volunteers at TEDx and became their youngest youth organizer in the Asia-Pacific region.Ishita successfully organised a TEDx at her school and soon the opportunity to speak at the TED Youth Conference in New York came her way. There was no thinking twice about it, and her speech was highly appreciated by the audience."She is very clear about what she wants. She didn’t hesitate for even a second. The whole trip was sponsored by TEDx. At the main event, when she stood on the stage to speak, I felt nervous because she was the youngest and had to speak without holding any paper in her hand. But she spoke well," said Ishita's mother, Nancy Katyal to The Indian Express."When I finished my speech, I was relieved because it was exactly how I imagined it to be. It was midnight in India, but my friends and relatives called me after the talk to convey their best wishes." Ishita is passionate about "working with community children to empower them for a better tomorrow" by helping them develop life-coaching skills.
