How we work on it

Inside Speakers & Dignitaries.

Speaker representation for people who are booked for what they know rather than for who they are. The Indian corporate speaking market is large, poorly indexed, and pays well for a genuinely rehearsed forty five minute talk.

Frequently asked

Questions about speakers & dignitaries.

What do speakers earn in India?

A very wide band, from an honorarium to several lakh for a corporate keynote, driven by evidence and demand rather than by fame alone.

Do I need a video reel?

It is the single highest leverage asset. Bookers will not commit a main stage slot without seeing you hold a room.

Should I work with a bureau?

Bureaus bring volume and take commission. Direct corporate relationships pay better. Most established speakers run both.
