A CEO with 25 years of lessons from building companies.
An entrepreneur who had lived through failure and started again.
A specialist who knew more about one subject than almost anyone else in the room.
A leader whose experiences could help someone halfway across the world.
Deepshikha saw value in something that was surprisingly difficult to monetise:
What people knew.
SpeakIn started helping accomplished professionals take that knowledge beyond their own organisations — onto stages, into boardrooms, leadership programmes and conversations across countries.
For some, speaking became an additional source of income.
For others, it became a second career.
And for many, it created an identity beyond the job title on their business card — speaker, coach, mentor, thought leader.
Over time, that simple idea grew into a platform with three distinct expressions — connecting expert voices to organisations, enabling one-to-one leadership coaching, and convening Asia’s most senior leaders in closed-door dialogue.
Today, SpeakIn has a curated network of 31,000+ experts across 30+ countries and has worked with 3,500+ organisations.
Different formats. Different countries. Different conversations.
But the instinct behind them remains remarkably simple:
Find someone who knows something extraordinary.
Find someone who needs to know it.
Bring them together.
Perhaps that’s Deepshikha’s real entrepreneurial superpower.
She didn’t just see talent in people. She saw value in what they had spent a lifetime learning — and built a business that helped monetise it.
