I have known Binod for the last five years. I attended his session -" Let's get unstuck" at Money Matters Forum in Sep 2024. Binod is a no-nonsense guy. Honest and passionate in his work. Tough but realistic in goal setting. I highly recommend Binod for those who are bold to make a change to live their values to the fullest.

Customer Reviews

Rashita Puthiya, Senior Lecturer Middlesex University

Binod Shankar was an exceptional speaker at the GSLP conference. His session on "Finding Your Values" was truly inspiring and thought-provoking. Binod’s ability to connect with the audience on a personal level was remarkable. His practical insights and real-world examples made the complex topic of values easily understandable and applicable. I was particularly impressed by his emphasis on the importance of aligning personal and professional values. I highly recommend Binod as a speaker for anyone looking to delve deeper into self-discovery and personal growth.

Ritesh Singh, Director Imarticus Education

I had the pleasure of attending a session by Binod Shankar on 'Women in Leadership'. The depth that Binod went into and the research that he did on the topic gave the audience a taste of what women face in breaking through the glass ceiling. His practical advice on how mid managers and 'stuck managers' can advance their career by taking specific initiatives to increase their influence at work and being more visible by taking decisive steps was really simple when you think of it in hindsight but not many make a conscious effort to do them.

Eugene D’ Souza, CFO Sony Middle East

Binod is an amazing speaker. Got to experience his charisma first hand at the 2nd Financial Talent Summit in Bangalore. His presentation on "Bridging the Skills Gap" was really insightful. I could relate to so many areas of his personal story. His experience in overcoming challenges thrown at him over so many years and his insights into mountaineering - how it teaches you to embrace failure and yet keep on moving forward, would have motivated many individuals. Looking forward to many more amazing times Binod!!

Nikhil Bansal, VP OakNorth Bank

Binod is an exemplary speaker with the ability to turn a very complex subject into an easily digestible and enjoyable session. Our Entrepreneur Rising participants benefited greatly from his teachings and his expertise. His friendly style and personality allowed our participants to connect with him easily and benefit immensely from his teachings. I highly recommend Binod as a speaker and facilitator.
