The founder of the NGO Snehwan, Ashok Deshmane, was the fourth speaker. Deshmane has received various honours, including the Social Innovator - University of Washington and the Zee TV Real Hero award.
Maharaj Kumar Sahib Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar of Udaipur, Prince of Udaipur, who is a philanthropist, supporter of education, sports, business leadership, and six-time Guinness World Records holder, was the sixth speaker at the TEDxIIMUdaipur event.

Commodore Varun Singh, an Indian Navy officer and recipient of the Gallantry Award, was the final speaker at TEDxIIMUdaipur. He graduated from the National Defense Academy and the Kendriya Vidyalaya Kochi, and he was commissioned on July 1st, 1993.

The speakers' personal experiences of embracing change in their lives or making a good difference in the lives of those around them inspired and moved the IIM Udaipur community to tears. The listeners at TEDxIIMUdaipur were affected by the change makers' stories.
