No issues about the type of people but yes a lot of budding Indian professionals are looking at these platforms as means to increase their professional clout. Even though there is nothing wrong with it, most often than not these guys just pick up random instances put faltu gyaan in it and plate it in front of the audience.
You're the type who would call a person posh or Elite just because of their accent, never mind that the person might be talking shit.

On non-science talks and even science talks, they usually push a pro status quo idea, and that one great idea will save us all from the impending disaster. Oh please bugger off, id rather watch an Akshay Kumar movie.
And then comes TEDx where you pay TED for licensing the logo for clout and add even more mediocre speakers to a mediocre format which doesn't allow discussion but just a monologue. I guess TEDx is just a mini Monkey Bath. To end I'd say, TED and TEDx talks are mediocre to begin with, you just realise it now because Indians have started speaking on it with more relatable topics. Oh FFS they have HappyGuru speaking on it, need I say more.
It's just public intellectual masturbation for clout.
