About

The Creator’s blessing on me is my ability, passion & curiosity to explore, learn, observe, adapt, inspire & my skills to research, plan, lead, communicate & execute change and innovation in the most effective way! Since my childhood, I found it easier to connect the patterns & think creatively - giving birth to thousands of ideas and learning the art of organizing the chaos. It was then I decided to travel the world and work with those great minds who not only have the power to think, plan, and act globally but also a vision to inspire the world. The hunger for gaining knowledge & becoming an excellent human being always ignited the spark within and helped me to fight the illusionary boundaries of the mind. Inspiring me to learn from the best & become the best of the best. That vision of living a purposeful life made me an expert in management, leadership, training, public speaking, research, communication, critical thinking & branding. And achieving awards & recognition for presentations, debates, speeches, and unpopular opinions. My years of experience entail working with youths, educational institutions, events & non-profits. As I mentioned about my passion to excel & inspire, here are few things about me: ✓ Founder & CEO of Inspiring the 21st Century ✓ Host of The Speaking Diary Podcast, Interviewed 50+ founders, CEO’s, leaders, artists across 15+ Countries ✓ Author of e-book ‘Her Decision’ ✓ Inspirational Blogger at www.theinspirationalbeing.com ✓ Won multiple recognitions & awards for presentation, speeches, debates & public speaking ✓ HOD of Events & Public Relations for various events ✓ Mentored, trained & led multiple teams of various sizes ranging from 2 – 200+ ✓ Represented India while working with the World’s Largest Youth Run Organisation ✓ Conducted 150+ Orientations & 250+ Interviews ✓ 4x AIESEC Speaker ✓ Passionate about creating Humanitarian Leaders in every single home ✓ Currently working as a Strategy & Operation Coordinator for a Humanitarian Foundation. ✓ Avail. for Keynote Sessions on Youth Empowerment i.e Leadership, Personality Development, Creative Thinking, Entrepreneurship & Lifestyle Here on LinkedIn, I seek to collaborate with those visionaries, thinkers & executives who wish to invest in the assets of the 21st Century: YOUTH! If you are one of them slide me a DM with your plan & proposal so we can discuss & create something phenomenal through our collaboration! I am that ordinary person, who wishes to inspire those who believe in inspiration, innovation & implementation! Initiating a positive revolution!
