"True personal branding on stage begins with unshakable self-belief and authentic self-expression. The ones who truly shine are not those who give rehearsed answers, but those who speak from soul", adds Tanvi.However, Tanvi asserts that personal branding in the corporate world is not built only on the stage; it begins long before, in the unseen 85 percent of deep work that lays the foundation for thought leadership. Much like an iceberg, where only the top 15 percent is visible, a leader's true brand identity is shaped behind the scenes through introspection, self-awareness, and the deliberate crafting of his thought leadership. Tanvi emphasizes that this offstage journey involves identifying the `three Es' of thought leadership which are deep expertise, transformative experiments, and valuable experiences, which together shape a thought leader's unique perspective.The Future Unlike the West, where keynote speaking is a thriving industry, India has traditionally focused on training programs and skill-building workshops. While these are essential, Tanvi believes that true leadership transformation begins with a shift in mindset, and this is where keynote speaking plays a crucial role. Currently, few American MNCs in India recognize the power of keynotes, but this culture has yet to become mainstream in Indian Corporate Inc. However, Tanvi predicts a significant rise in influential keynote speakers emerging from India, shaping corporate thought leadership at a global scale. Committed to co-creating a thriving keynote industry, she actively works with thought leaders who not only have a powerful message but also the drive to inspire and create impact. This shift will redefine how Indian organizations approach leadership development, inculcate a thought leadership culture and leverage corporate storytelling. · Recognized by the prestigious Stevie Awards (New York, 2013), known as Oscars of the Business World, for her bold journey as a speaker and entrepreneur within just a year and a half of entering the industry.· Honored by The International Alliance for Women (Washington, D.C., 2013) for her passion and commitment to mentoring women leaders, helping them build their personal brand, leadership skills, and self-transformation journeys.· Awarded as the Brand Strategist of the Year in 2014 by Grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand. · Delivered TEDx talks on Personal Branding, KARMAnomics of Thought Leadership, and STAGEcraft of Public Speaking.· Created a public speaking course for Celebrity School in 2023, an elite ed-tech platform where she is featured alongside Industry Icons like Asha Bhosle, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Madhur Bhandarkar, Mary Kom, Ranveer Brar, Vikas Khanna, and Shaan.· Became the first-ever Indian author to be invited by LinkedIn Learning in 2024 to host a course on The Art of Magnetic Public Speaking.Milestones and Key Achievements:
