Let me introduce myself as a guest speaker and motivational storyteller. Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at various events. It all started when I was 19, a single businesswoman with a one-year-old baby. I was invited by the local cooperative bank in India to inspire women. This continued over the years, covering various topics. In New Zealand, my first opportunity to speak about ‘Mumbai to Auckland as an artist journey’, was in 2004. Followed by public speaking opportunities on various subjects. I also bring my homeland’s essence to New Zealand with a deep knowledge of wellness. As your dedicated partner, I customise every speech to align with your event’s goals, ensuring it is an impactful experience for the audience.
Whether I’m energising a corporate team, inspiring a community, or leading a cultural celebration, I don’t just motivate—I teach practical steps for change, backed by my extensive experience and passion for wellness, entrepreneurship, and cultural diversity.
If you seek a dynamic and engaging speaker with a cheerful personality who connects with the audience and delivers memorable insights, you’ve found her. Here is my little story!
