  • You had the audience eating out of your hand, and by the end of the hour, everyone was penning really stirring short stories by themselves and sharing. I think all the leaders...saw storytelling in a new light that evening.

  • In an industry where trust is everything, Roshan showed us how telling a good tale can make you stand tall! He broke (storytelling) into smaller modules that helped us bankers believe that we could be good story tellers, too.

  • Roshan is a master at it! Just observing him conduct the session was an important lesson. It was very interactive with examples and activities that helped us open up, and learn the basics as well as the importance of connecting with the audience.

  • I’ve seen Roshan in various avatars – from emcee to workshop host, from CEO to author! He was once invited to run a half-day workshop on Storytelling & Presence for very senior trainers of GroupM, and the workshop received a roaring 5/5 score. I would highly recommend brands and people to work with Roshan to get inspired by his passion and energy.
