TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) talks will be featured in a language other than English and this will be for the first time ever. Star India is coming up with `TED Talks India: Nayi Soch` to be hosted by SRK.

According to ANI, this is for the first time that TED, a nonprofit organisation has tied up with a major network and star to produce a TV series featuring original TED Talks in a different language, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The show will air on Star Plus and feature speakers sharing big ideas in TED`s signature format of short talks.

Shah Rukh Khan, has previously hosted shows like 'Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?' 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.

ANI quotes him as saying, "Star India`s legacy of using television as an instrument of social change, and TED`s unequivocal drive to showcase simple but unique ideas in an effort to spark debate and conversation are a very powerful combination. I believe `TED Talks India: Nayi Soch` will inspire many minds across India. It is a concept I connected with instantly, as I believe that the media is perhaps the single most powerful vehicle to inspire change."

The show will launch later this year. However, further details such as a specific date and a lineup of speakers have not been revealed.
