Ravi's unique talent lies in his ability to weave together seemingly unrelated activities and combine the soul of an artist, mind of a businessman, and heart of a philanthropist to make it a career. Moreover, each single endeavor is a catalyst for and beneficiary of another. Call it cross-marketing, niche-marketing, social entrepreneurship, or something else. To Ravi, it's simply having the courage of his desires and living them each and everyday. Through his transparent and passionate delivery interspersed with humour and exchanges with the audience, Ravi inspires audiences to dream big and chart realistic courses for success. No smoke and mirrors, deceptive marketing tactics, get rich quick schemes, or spiritual guidance to blissperception no longer is reality in today's socioeconomic environment. And while he is a fan of guerrilla marketing, Ravi doesn't simply push a DIY (Do It Yourself) method of entrepreneurship or teach his audiences how to make a Plan B out of their Plan A. Instead, Ravi focuses on developing and promoting personal and professional integrity, and building a business model on logic and reason with the foundation of passion and integrity. This includes creating and defining a brand, financing projects, developing and maintaining long-term associations and business-to-business partners, committing to client and customer satisfaction, leadership, teamwork, and many other business fundamentals. Depending on the specific event and target audience, his presentation can be customized to place emphasis on the most relevant topics. Ravi is about discovering it, going for it, living it,
evaluating it, capitalizing on it, expanding it,
and enjoying it. His own career is the example, and he dissects
the evolution of "hits" and "misses" and valuable
lessons learned along the way. He stands in his truth, but creates his
realty. “Besides sharing his knowledge from the field with students, he was very effective in communicating his well-developed ideas about the business. I was profoundly impressed and I know the students were too...Ravi and his message are among the best that Berklee has to offer and he will be welcome here in the future.” – Berklee College Of Music, Boston MA A skillful presenter, always offering creative and practical business solutions in a language that our arts-based industry understands. NAMM (National Association of Music Merchandisers) “Ravi's lecture to my class of aspiring performers was right on. They left with useful and valuable information pertinent to their career goals. He is an articulate speaker who is approachable, flexible and extremely knowledgeable.” – Pepperdine University, Los Angeles CA “Not only is Ravi a great guitarist, songwriter and entertainer, but
his music industry experience
"Ravi's talk at the Road Rally was absolutely inspirational.
I never imagined the tactics he suggested. I've already contacted an organization
that means a lot to me (not a music-related company at all), and they
are interested in working together. Never even thought of it before! I
am greatly looking forward to receiving his CD and listening to more of
his wisdom."
