When Ruby joined a publishing course in April 2012, she soon realised that the tribal voice was missing from the popular discourse. The disappointment spawned the idea of setting up a publishing house to document the oral forms of storytelling and folklores to document stories of struggles, exploitation and displacement of the Adivasis. She started Adivaani with two friends; a cause to help, preserve and amplify the Adivasi voice, the Adivaani.

She worked with the IT industry in Gurgaon and Calcutta for 10 years, before she was overcome by the urge to do something meaningful for a largely invisible community.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
