What if the key to building great technology wasn’t choosing a single path but learning to think in many?
In this inspiring talk, engineer and entrepreneur Chetan Jaydeep takes us through a vivid portrait of his mind - from a fearless two-year-old who wandered off just to “see where the road goes,” to a kid dismantling computers for fun, to a coder who learned that curiosity needs structure, and an entrepreneur who learned that structure needs courage.
Chetan reveals how every stage of his journey, the explorer, the engineer, the employee, the founder, wasn’t a phase to outgrow, but a mindset to stack. He shares how failed startups, chance encounters, rabbit holes, and even a global pandemic shaped the tech and thinking behind ChangePay, his college-based locker commerce startup.
Through personal stories and sharp reflections, he makes a powerful case: success isn’t about picking the “right” mindset, it’s about learning to use all of them at once. Chetan Jaydeep’s entrepreneurial journey began at NITK Surathkal, where late-night brainstorming and coding fueled his passion to turn ideas into impact. With an academic start, Chetan discovered in college how innovation could start small and scale big.
After experience in the IT industry, Chetan co-founded ChangePay with his seniors, aiming to simplify campus transactions in the wake of demonetisation. Wearing multiple hats, he built backend systems and managed products, helping ChangePay evolve into a campus “super-app” connecting deliveries, events, and networks for millions of students. Now as CTO, Chetan is proof that big ideas can grow from campus corridors to billion-dollar realities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
