Tomorrow Begins Today: The Power of Long-Term Decisions | Sreenivasan Krishnan | TEDxChoiceSchool

In this thought-provoking TEDx talk, Sreenivasan Krishnan explores how the decisions we make today shape the world of tomorrow. Drawing from decades of experience across science, industry, governance, and public policy, he reflects on the profound impact that visionary leadership and long-term thinking can have on society. Using real-world examples—from the creation of Cochin International Airport to the rise and fall of major public enterprises—he illustrates how strategic decisions can determine the success or failure of institutions for generations. Sreenivasan Krishnan also addresses one of the most transformative shifts of our time: the rise of artificial intelligence. As AI rapidly reshapes industries, education, and the future of work, he highlights adaptability as the most essential skill for the next generation. Rather than fearing technological change, he encourages young people to understand it, adapt to it, and harness its potential to improve lives. His message is clear: the future is not something that simply happens to us. It is built through the choices we make, the vision we cultivate, and the courage to think beyond the present. Sreenivasan Krishnan is an Indian public servant and public policy professional with a strong academic and administrative background. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering, a postgraduate degree in Management from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, and a Law degree from Osmania University, Hyderabad. He began his career as a Scientist Engineer at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, and later worked with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. In 1990, he was selected to the Union Civil Services through the Civil Services Examination. During his service, he worked as Officer on Special Duty to the Chief Minister of Kerala and with a Union Cabinet Minister for Industry.
