REX is everything, I wanted TED to be.

When I started TED in 1984, the idea was to create conversations, camaraderie, and collaborations of Real People, who like sharing their ideas. I am glad to see that the founders of REX have created a conversation, not just of exclusive speakers, but an inclusive gathering of Real People and Ordinary Heroes, who stand for righteousness and doing right. I have observed that People can speak from their heart at REX and have the right of Free-Speech, without any censorship. REX has a grand vision and is become much bigger and better, than what I had intended TED to be original. REX is the most unique knowledge forum globally, where one can go on a true journey from NOT KNOWING to WISDOM and AWARENESS. It is meaningful, mindful, engaging, energizing, entertaining and most of all it is a great learning experience, with people from all walks of life sharing ideas for action. The original TED conference wasn’t rehearsed, planned, edited, or scripted; there were no long introductions or a dress code. What you saw on the videotape is exactly how it happened to live, and the conference was magical. REX is everything I wanted TED to be and the founders of REX have truly created what my original idea of TED was. At TED When a speech was boring, or it went too long, I would get up and very quietly walk over and stand behind the person. At REX the founder Jerry Almeida does something even better. True to his nature, he literally blows the whistle and this adds to the fun and charm of the overall learning experience.

~ Richard Saul Wurman - Original Founder of TED before he sold it in 2002. He is a REX enthusiast and mentor and has been supporting us to stay on the path for creating engaging, energizing conversations and learning at REX.

"The Courage of Conviction and Integrity to be the change. I change to change my country and people. I change to change the world!"

~ Mahatma Gandhi

change to change our world.

"Life is not just about creating and amassing wealth and materialistic gains for one’s own near and dear ones. Life is about creating a legacy of a better world for our future generations, because our own children also belong to the future generations. A better world benefits all and each of us can do something to create a better world. And if each and all of us 7 billion people does our little bit then the world will change for the better. The REX Karmaveer Global Fellowship and Karmaveer Chakra is not just an award and recognition, but the EMPOWERMENT OF TRUST and adding more strength to the shoulders of all our Fellows and Karmaveer award recipients, to bear more responsibility towards being more, creating more, doing more, growing more, accomplishing more and changing more, to make a positive difference in our world. I change to change our world

~ Jeroninio Almeida

We all want to be remembered for something, to be known as more than merely ordinary, to be seen as someone who truly made a difference. We all want to leave an imprint on this world and leave behind something that can make this world a little better and brighter.
From the very day we are born and from childhood, we are told that we are special and that we are destined for something wonderful. We learn to believe that if we choose to, we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to. And because it is our world, that we are capable of taking it by its horns and that what we choose to do to make a difference and be the change is up to us.
But what happens when you are presented with an opportunity that would change your life irreversibly and help you leave behind a dignified legacy that you would be proud of? Would you take that opportunity or would you hesitate?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the need for a forum like REX?

REX forum is established to recognize and give an opportunity to real life heroes, who have worked silently over the years for the betterment of the society, without any ulterior motive. In a world of paid and fake news, we feel it is imperative to have a platform which encourages people to share their real life stories and inspire others to bring out their hero from within, along the way. We believe free thought and discourse is necessary to bring about change.

Does REX also promote Western Philosophy and Practices?

Yes we do. We believe in adopting the best practices from the west like the spirit of volunteering, dignity of labor, respect for ideas, knowledge sharing etc. Our mantra is Eastern Mysticism, Spirituality and Philosophical Wisdom ethically blends with Western Pragmatism, Modernity and Innovative Knowledge

Few years ago, the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellows also decided to sponsor future fellows and thus, was born the unique idea of REX GIFFFT – (The Rex Gift It Forward Future Fellowships Tree).
