Knowledge is changing faster than ever before, with content and access increasing everyday. Pavan explains his perspective on this growth, how we teach the next generation, and why he is hopeful for the future.

Pavan is Chief Innovation Officer at Aptara, a 7000 employee company helping apply current technology in publishing and education. As an experienced industry advisor and incubator of new technology, he spearheads Aptara's innovation efforts by leading its product strategy and development initiatives. Prior to Aptara, Pavan was a digital innovation consultant to McGraw-Hill, World Bank, and the Library of Congress. His drive for involvement with cutting-edge technologies has resulted in a three year stint as a venture capitalist and six start-ups since graduating from Johns Hopkins and the London School of Economics. As a member of NextGen Angels, Pavan spends his spare time investing in technology startups and advising entrepreneurs on growth. When Pavan is not geeking out, he can be found entertaining his see-saw obsessed son at the park.

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)
