[@RashikaPujaria-ls2vn]

The title of this video was a bit misleading to me since "HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY" and his speech are not the same. Kindly update the title to "My Journey To Become a Space Scientist in ISRO"

[@dir.777]

Very true madam. I gave my talk as My journey only. I honestly don't know who gave this title.

[@miray8714]

Sir how far your parents supported you in this incredible scientific journey?

[@dir.777]

Both were good teachers. They encouraged me a lot.

[@doruk1880]

It is so hard to achieve his feat because now competition is very high.

[@BhaveshArora-fn8zo]

Did Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB) in Bhubaneswar organize this TEDx talk? Why is this 2022 talk posted so late (in 2023) on KZbin?

[@dir.777]

Yes XIMB

[@MrSathyendran]

Super sir

[@dir.777]

Thank you

[@karthikv2653]

Nice sir 👍👍

[@dir.777]

Thank you.

[@emirdisli776]

Sudhakar sir, do you also have a KZbin channel?

[@dir.777]

No, I don't have. Tq.

[@RakeshGoyal-ut2cx]

I didn't get the time to listen to the complete talk but 2 things are critical: 1) Moving to and fro like a pendulum creates distraction for the viewer 2) Looking down too much and not maintaining eye contact with the audience (or camera) shows lack of confidence This TEDx talk could have been improved if the above two things were avoided in the first place.

[@dir.777]

Thank you for your suggestions.

[@kannan5465]

Dear Mr Rakesh I have earlier commented that our country is blessed to have such leaders like Dr D.P Sudhakar. I want our Bharath to the No :1 country in the world and for that people like him are required. Kindly see the video fully or please remove your comments ji.

[@emirteamxd3862]

Sir I have sent you a linkedin connection request, please accept it.

Don't know really.

[@mamatttoo73_com]

[@gassanyooogelsinbilim2369]

This Tedx talk is completely useless. The title is also misleading!

Title should be through the looking glass not hitchhiker's guide to galaxy. I wonder why all the words in the title are in CAPITAL letters?

I also have this Qs.

I don't understand why the title is different from his actual speech.

[@dir.777]

That was decided by Tedx. I gave my title as My Journey.
