Vipasha Devi Tilak ✨ — Founder
Vipasha Devi Tilak is a writer, speaker, facilitator, curator and coach who believes that stories create a world of emotions and make the every day seem incredible. Having spent 15+ years pursuing different mediums of storytelling, she started her career as a TV journalist, moved to the digital medium and then coached founders to shape their stories on stage. She has worked with brands like NDTV, 22feet, NCPA, TEDx and INKtalks.

Outside of work, she is a student of Carnatic music, meditation and observational astronomy. 💡 My mission: I help leaders tell better stories at work. 🎯 My big thesis: AI can take over everything but it cannot replace interpersonal communication aka storytelling. At the beginning of civilisation, human beings were not meant to work. We woke up at the crack of the sun, worked in the fields, worked enough to feed ourselves, came home during sunset, and sat in the evening with our community around a campfire to share stories. When everything else dies, all we’ll be left with are stories. Storytelling is the number one skill that elevates human experience. 🌻 My story: ⭕️ I was born in a family of storytellers and my grandfathers and grandmothers would gather in a circle and share stories. We’ve learnt about life and its philosophies through stories. 🎁 Everyone has a gift in life, and mine is to help you find the storyteller in you. 💎 You put me in a coalmine and I can find the diamond in you. 🧲 At work, I am a storyteller and coach. 💫 Outside of work, I am into meditation, music and stargazing. 📜 Free Newsletter: Sign up for my free newsletter 'Finding Your Stories' that shares actionable advice on becoming a better storyteller.
