Raj is a very engaging speaker that inspired some very positive feedback from our students. His life story is very different from the majority (probably all) of young people in Dorset and he brings a huge amount of positive energy to the stage. He is very easy to work with and is able to adapt to the audience as he reads them.

Customer Reviews

Baron Miles Director of Social Enterprise, Budmouth College

Raj is an excellent presenter. With over 80 Women’s Institute ladies at a meeting, Raj managed to keep the attention of the whole room. Raj spoke passionately and informative about ‘England and Indian Villages, the difference’. Raj spoke caringly about his personal experiences and how he and his family had been effected by situations. We had tears of laughter as well as tears of sadness. Raj’s inspirational 45 minute speech left us all questioning our own “first world problems” and thoughts. We would definitely have Raj come again to speak to us.

Jen Whitworth President of Taunton Deane Divas Women’s Institute

The topics covered by Raj are superbly balanced between gentle humour and the ability to provoke deeper thought amongst your audience. A rare gift. The members of Bristol Common Wealth Society are still enthusing about Raj’s talk and how delighted they were to welcome Raj back “by popular demand!”.

The Mumbai Mindset: Thriving Under Pressure

"If a cat can survive in Mumbai, your team can thrive anywhere."

Why It Matters: Every workplace faces pressure, tight deadlines, limited resources, conflicting personalities. But success depends on how well teams adapt, solve problems, and stay focused. This session reveals how resourcefulness, grit, and agility can be sharpened in even the toughest environments.

Evidence: Raj shares his lived experience of living his working career in Mumbai’s slums sharing a single room with 23 others and eventually stepping onto the O2 TEDx stage. Through this lens, he draws parallels with how Mumbai’s most overlooked survivors (cats, dogs, rats, and cockroaches) thrive in chaos, and what that means for modern teams.

Takeaways:

Reframe challenges as opportunities to showcase strengths
Practical team-building insights drawn from instinctive survival behaviours
A renewed focus on efficiency, adaptability, and confidence - plus a Mumbai souvenir as a reminder to keep it simple and sharp
Ideal for energising teams, sparking problem-solving, and rediscovering resilience - with humour and heart.
