Mohiuddin Khan Mahin, licensee and lead organiser of TEDxCoU, said about the event, "A great many festivals and events are held in our university, but unfortunately few of them are centred around intellectual activity. TEDx is a platform that can combine both academics and motivation. We want Comilla University to succeed in all aspects; that's why we need to know about successful people in different fields. If we can combine our talents with the work and ideas of these people, we can do something great. We believe the platform provided by TEDx gives this opportunity to the whole world so that people can be exposed to new ideas. Also, TEDx being an international platform will help in raising the standard of our university, as a result, we will get a chance to be better known within the country and the world."

TEDx is a TED-affiliated platform. TED is a non-profit organisation based in the United States that organises various events or conferences internationally and invites people who are involved in diverse and famous work in the world. All these people give speeches using this event as a platform wo the world about their experiences, innovative ideas and strategies, and various positive aspects of society.
