A sales strategist, public speaker, and nature educator — helping people and companies lead with clarity, close with intention, and speak with truth.
I took the traditional path. Engineering at SIR MVIT in Bangalore. Data science at Mu Sigma. Sales and enablement at Prezent, an AI communication platform serving Fortune 500 companies. I was good at what I did. But something kept calling me elsewhere.
My love for public speaking started young. Over 13 years as a Toastmaster, I earned Distinguished Toastmaster — the movement's highest honor. I founded two clubs, mentored more than 1,000 speakers, won the District 92 International Speech Contest, and represented India at the quarterfinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking.
In 2019, I stepped away for a soul-searching year. A residency at a yoga centre in South India — surrounded by 800 people from 32 countries — changed something fundamental in me. I came back to work carrying it with me: leading with intention, with nature, with a voice I could stand behind.
Today, I do three things I care about — advising sales teams, coaching speakers, and teaching children to fall in love with the natural world. Different-looking work, one belief underneath all of it: the world changes when people learn to speak their truth.
Helping sales teams and SaaS founders close deals faster — by building the systems, playbooks, and AI agents that turn effort into repeatable results.
Helping individuals communicate with clarity, confidence, and influence — through storytelling, structure, and powerful presence. Not just to speak better, but to become better.
Helping the next generation fall in love with the natural world — and helping adults rediscover that sustainable living isn't a burden, it's a gift.
Every organization below represents a real relationship — closed deals during my years at Prezent, strategic engagements at Mu Sigma, and decision-makers across sales, marketing, and enablement teams I still know by first name. A network I lean on today.
Represented India at the quarterfinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking. One of the toughest speaking competitions in the world.
The highest individual honor in Toastmasters International. Mentored over 1,000 speakers and founded 2 clubs along the way.

Every place I've been has taught me a way of seeing I couldn't have found sitting still. Every conversation on the road becomes a story that shows up on a stage months later.
Long-form on Medium. Books that sit at the intersection of philosophy, sales, and spirituality.
Hikes, forest walks, and time with school children teaching them why the natural world is worth loving.
Hatha Yoga and daily Isha practices — the quiet architecture behind everything else.
Collecting them from the road. Telling them on stage.
Ashin embodies everything you want in a client partner and sales enablement leader. His strategic mindset, empathy, and ability to translate insights into action set him apart. As a mentor, he was incredibly generous — his guidance shaped how I engage with customers and collaborate across teams.
"Leaders don't create followers, they create more Leaders" — Ashin is one such leader. I've never seen anyone with so much energy and zeal to learn new things every single day. He always pushed us to try creative ideas and was there to support us in our failures.
His engaging presentation and practical insights left the audience inspired and motivated. His ability to connect with the audience and share personal anecdotes created a memorable and impactful experience. Attendees walked away with a renewed sense of purpose.
Expert strategic sales leadership skills and a wealth of knowledge in everything Go-To-Market — a true leader with a calm, diligent, objective and balanced approach. Any sales rep lucky enough to work with him will no doubt become a top performer.
Ashin's been my go-to person for guidance and support. He's played multiple roles within the company and excelled in each one with dedication and professionalism. His ability to balance mentorship, leadership, and teamwork makes him an invaluable asset to any organization.
From the very beginning, Ashin brought incredible depth of knowledge and expertise. He's incredibly hardworking, genuinely passionate, and brings a fun, positive energy to the team. Adaptable and moldable — he can jump into new challenges, learn quickly and make things happen.
On earning Toastmasters' highest honor without ever making it the goal — and why staying in love with the doing quietly built everything else.
A small moment from the road that stayed with me — and a reminder about how far a little generosity can travel.
Notes on what living with intention actually looks like — one small experiment at a time, borrowed loosely from a very old book.
