Giving is Growing | Shivansh Gupta | TEDxHIXS Youth
Shivansh Gupta’s talk celebrates the transformative power of giving through his journey as founder of The Teen Debater, a not-for-profit that has trained over 10,000 students. With humor and relatability, he reflects on turning childhood “arguing” into a respected skill and community platform. While Shivansh began teaching debate, he soon realized that every student also taught him something: patience, humility, resilience, and empathy. From a shy girl who found her voice to a small-town boy who defeated a well-resourced competitor, Shivansh shares stories that illustrate how knowledge multiplies when shared. Referring to a Sanskrit shloka about education growing through generosity, he reframes giving as an investment that enriches both the giver and recipient. His message is simple yet powerful: success isn’t about winning arguments but growing through them, and true impact lies in listening, learning, and sharing. Shivansh leaves the audience with a hopeful invitation—give something today, and grow in return.Shivansh Gupta is a 17-year-old international debate champion, economics researcher and student changemaker from Gurgaon, India.
