Important details

When and where?

We meet on Sundays, 9:30am to 2:30pm, at MIDC, Andheri East. You can pick your own Sundays as per your convenience. You can opt out of whichever Sundays you’re unavailable even at short notice.

How much time will I need?

We’ll do a free assessment before you enroll, to understand how much time you’ll need. The fee starts

from Rs.30,000, minimum 4 workshops. If you have issues related to nervousness or trouble creating

good content, it’ll be a minimum of Rs.48,000, minimum 7 workshops over 2-4 months. For both,

content and confidence, it’ll be more, about 14 workshops over 6 months or more. We’ll do a full

assessment for free before you enroll. The duration depends on what all changes you want and how

much of those changes you want. The fees does NOT depend on the topics you choose, but only on the

time we spend.

Can I get a trial session?

Yes. You can pay Rs.5000 to attend the first workshop as trial, and then decide to pay the remaining amount. You must pay the remaining within 2 days. What is the cost and is there a money-back guarantee?

You can cancel the program any time without any reason, and you get 70% money back.

Why is the course “expensive”?

The same reason why some doctors or some colleges are more expensive than others. This program gets results. How is the program customised and structured? Is there a batch system?

We do NOT have a batch system, as people get comfortable with each other quickly and that defeats the “real-world” simulation. You’d be part of a diverse group of 5-10 people, most of whom are working professionals in the mid-to-senior management level. What we’ll cover each day will depend on what you want to work on. This could include things like: prepared speech, impromptu speech, creative/logical thinking, argumentation, putting your points more impactfully in a group discussion, a group activity to manage/lead others, conversational-skills with new people, first impressions, sessions to increase one’s self-awareness and emotional intelligence, etc. Everything is practical and non-theoretical, and extremely interactive. For more, see videos in the “gallery” section of our website. How will we measure progress or results?

The way the change is measured is by looking at the feedback and results you get in your real-world, the feedback from other participants, from Animesh, and of course, the way you feel about yourself in your interactions with people (formally and informally).
