Behind the Mic Why we created The Leader Speaks

What if leadership was not just something we read in books – but something we felt through stories?

That was the question that sparked the beginning of The Leader Speaks.

Founded by Divesh Sareen, this platform was born from a deep belief: Everyone has a story. And every story has the power to inspire.

It Started with a Stage…

It all began with a microphone, a cricket legend, and a packed audience hanging on every word. That first event with Sunil Gavaskar was not just a keynote – it was a conversation about grit, culture, and mindset.

The energy in the room was electric and we realised something important:

Leadership isn’t just learned. It’s experienced.

Why Stories Matter

In a noisy world of headlines and hacks, stories cut through.
They show us the person behind the title – the struggle behind the success.

From sports legends to migrant entrepreneurs, The Leader Speaks gives a platform to those who have led with integrity, courage, and authenticity.

Our Mission

To create a space where legends share their story, and future leaders find their voice.

Through events, podcasts, live panels, and exhibitions – we aim to showcase leadership in all its forms, from the sports field to the boardroom, from the grassroots to global stages.

What’s Next?

We are just getting started.

With every event, every article, and every story – we are building a global community of people who believe in leadership that inspires change.

And maybe… you will be next on that stage.
