Frequently asked

Business Leaders, in plain terms.

What do speakers earn in India?

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

Do I need a bureau?

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

How do I raise my fee?

Evidence, demand and scarcity. Raising rates without the first two produces silence.

In more depth

A defined talk, not a willingness to speak.

Bookers buy a named talk

Offering flexibility gets you booked once. A specific talk with a specific outcome gets you booked repeatedly.

Video is the deciding asset

No booker commits a main stage slot without seeing you hold a room. It is the single highest-leverage thing to build.

Fees follow evidence

Recorded proof, named references and repeat bookings move fee bands. All three can be built deliberately.
