Deconstructing a Politician | TATHAGATA SATPATHY | TEDxXIMB

Mr. Satpathy shows how disruption works in politics. It is very common for the youth to blame the politicians as inefficient and corrupt. Mr. Satpathy shows the other side of the politician by taking us through his own journey and experiences.
He talks heavily about ego and the sense of humility.
