Harish Iyer, also known as "Aham", hiyer and "Harrish Iyer" (born 16 April 1979), is an activist for a number of socio-environmental issues. He is known for his work in the fields of child rights and LGBT rights. Pink Pages named him one of India's seven most influential gays and lesbians activist and one of the ten individuals to be awarded the Zindagi Live Awards for his work in creating awareness on child sexual abuse. On 29 June 2013, The Guardian, the British national daily named him in the list of the 100 most influential LGBT rights activists in the world for 2013. He is listed at number 71, and was the only Indian national in this list.

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)
