Her Education

She had her Honours degree in Economics from Mumbai University and postgraduation qualification in marketing and sales from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) and a master trainer certificate in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). She is also a firewalking instructor, trained by the Sundoor Firewalking School (a US-based educational centre). She is India’s first certified firewalk instructor.

Her Turning Point

She has switched her career from teaching field to a motivational speaker. While she was studying for her MBA she gave her everything to create a better, brighter future for herself, many people around her told her that it is not possible but she never gave up, even when she was broke she became the youngest motivational speaker in India at the age of 24.

She had a time where she lost all her savings just to start her new career. That was the time where she had nothing to lose it was just a win-win situation or a big defeat and this time she saw as a great circumstance to win, because if one has nothing to lose, then one has nothing to do but move forward in life. She did not have anything to cling to, so she moved on with her motivated spirit and her never-say-die attitude.

Her Work

She has a training firm whose role is to offer motivation-based programs to corporates on leadership, team building and peak performance. She specializes in experience-based learning where she engages participants in activities and helps them to figure out their lessons based on their personal experiences. She says “I also believe in fun based learning, and so, I do activities which are fun and at the same time evoke the spirit of the challenge. So, some of the activities which I would do are walking on fire, martial arts, bending steel rods with the neck, walking on broken pieces of glass and so on. It is an experiential way of driving home the message that impossible is nothing”.

Her main clients are of multinational companies around India, Europe and South-East Asia. On asking how she understands the youth to motivate them she says, “The main struggle that I see with the youth today is the diminishing attention span and their diluted focus. I do not see a lack of talent or lack of initiative. But when attention and focus go on the diminishing side, then success is an elusive concept. We live in the age of speed. But speed demands a  hundred per cent attention. You can’t take your car at the speed of 160km/per hour and be distracted. That’s the accident most youngsters find themselves in life. Else, the youth of today have everything at their fingertips. They are in a better position than any other generation has ever been on this planet”.
