Filmmaker Rahul Mittra delivers TEDx Talk on 'creating with courage'

Filmmaker, actor and brand management-communication expert Rahul Mittra delivered a TEDx Talk on ‘Create with Courage' in Lucknow at a packed Jaipuria Institute of Management auditorium on Friday as he urged the audience to push boundaries, embrace failures and innovate with confidence. 

“Courage is not just an emotion; it's a driving force that enables us to confront fear and move forward. It doesn't just live in us but gives us the strength to overcome any challenge. Courage is the key to success, a force that empowers us to rise after every fall, to face the unknown with determination, and to push past the limits we set for ourselves. It teaches us to embrace failure as a lesson and turn every setback into a comeback. Choose courage over comfort,” said Mittra to hundreds of management students, corporate honchos, government functionaries & media.                                                 

Starting s a journalist at The Times of India, Mittra challenged Bollywood's status quo, steering the industry towards authentic small-town stories with his hit debut film Saheb Biwi aur Gangster. Through Rahul Mittra Films, he has championed fresh, audacious ideas and innovative marketing strategies. 

Through his advisory firm, Brandsmith, he has guided state governments, tourism boards, SMEs, and individuals to embrace bold strategies and impactful communication. Rahul has led Indian film delegations across the world, spreading the power of storytelling and inspiring others to break barriers.

His recent cameos as a stern Sikh cop in Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila on Netflix & politician in Jio Cinema’s Inspector Avinash were widely appreciated for their real life portrayal. 

Tedx Talks serve as a platform for thought leaders, achievers and influencers to share their experiences and insights, offering a roadmap to overcome challenges and achieve success.
