ADAPT or DIE

"Adapt or Die" - was the theme of my recent keynote speech on digital transformation at Beiersdorf in Hamburg, Germany. This 140+ year old company is behind some of the biggest skincare brands in the world (ever heard of Nivea?!) I was honored and humbled that Beiersdorf asked me to be the Opening Keynote Speaker at their People Summit 2024. For over 90 minutes, to a packed room of in-person attendees as well as an online audience, I shared case studies, best practices, and opportunities for Beiersdorf to keep evolving in an ever-changing world.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The son of an Indian diplomat, I grew up in 11 countries on 4 continents building a sense of ‘home’ wherever I went. Turned into a TEDx talk, it interweaves anecdotes from my life being an ‘alien’ and covers themes of individuality, diversity, and community. Particularly geared at corporate and youth settings, this keynote encourages the notion of stepping out one’s comfort zone in order to truly find yourself.

START NOW, START SIMPLE

The most motivational of my talks, this chronicles my story of being unemployed in a foreign land down to my last penny all the way to managing over $500 million funds and becoming an advisor to the National Government. A popular talk from teenagers to aspiring entrepreneurs, the talk is guaranteed to challenge people to start making their dreams a reality.

OPPORTUNITY IN CRISIS

The son of an Indian diplomat moving countries every 2-3 years, I’ve had to really develop my “Change Muscle”. Whether a guest lecture via Zoom to college students or a workshop to entrepreneurs and founders, in this session we discuss the 3 steps to building your Adaptability Quotient and identifying opportunities for growth personally and professionally.
