Speaking & invitations

Stories that make a room lean in.

Amish speaks on leadership through dharma, India’s civilisational story, faith in the modern world and the craft of storytelling — to universities, literature festivals, boardrooms and global forums.

Keynotes

45–60 minutes on leadership, purpose and decision-making, drawn from the philosophy that runs through the books — Shiva as the outsider leader, Ram as the leader of rules, Sita as the leader of the people.

Literature festivals

Author sessions, readings and moderated conversations for festival audiences in India and abroad, in English or Hindi.

Universities & schools

Talks and Q&A on history, mythology and why India’s past matters to its future — including sessions for young readers around Dhruv-Tara.

Are virtual sessions possible?

Yes. Recorded and live virtual keynotes and classroom sessions are both possible.
