INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Dr. Vivek Bindra, a prominent figure in the realm of motivational speaking and corporate training in India, has established himself as a leading leadership consultant and business coach. His journey began in Delhi, where he lived with his uncle while attending St. Xavier’s School. Amidst the challenges of funding his education, he demonstrated remarkable resilience by offering tuition and selling dictionaries during his MBA studies at Amity Business School in Noida. This early exposure to hard work laid the foundation for his dynamic career, which would take an unexpected yet transformative turn.
While pursuing his MBA, Bindra was introduced to the teachings of the Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta through various mentors and spiritual teachers. This profound experience led him to Vrindavana, where he spent four years living as a monk, embracing a minimalist lifestyle in dhoti and kurta and subsisting on boiled food. It was during this time that he received a pivotal call from his mentor, urging him to share the wisdom of the Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta with the world. This moment marked a significant turning point in his life, steering him towards the training industry where he began to integrate these timeless principles into his programs, such as “Bounce Back” and “Leadership Funnel.”
In 2012, Bindra laid the groundwork for his entrepreneurial journey by founding Global ACT (Academy of Consulting and Training), which he later rebranded as Bada Business Pvt. Limited in April 2019. His initial training fees were set at an impressive Rs 1.25 lakh; however, he recognized the need to make his services accessible to a broader audience, subsequently lowering fees to Rs 19,000 for small business owners and Rs 9,000 for students. Throughout his rise to fame as one of India’s most sought-after motivational speakers, Bindra encountered significant financial hurdles, even selling his house at one point to ensure the salaries of his employees were paid. Despite these challenges, he remained focused on his mission and declined opportunities to conduct business coaching abroad, instead choosing to concentrate on empowering the Indian community.
Vivek Bindra’s influence has surged, particularly since he started his YouTube channel in 2013. Initially uploading content in English, he later shifted to Hindi, recognizing that this would resonate with a larger audience in India. His social media presence has grown exponentially, boasting over 2 crore followers on YouTube and becoming the most subscribed and viewed business coach on the platform. His considerable reach extends to other social media, gathering 1 crore followers on Facebook and more than 30 lakh followers on Instagram. Due to his remarkable achievements, he is not only celebrated as the most followed and viewed business coach in Asia but also holds several Guinness World Records, including the remarkable feat of training the largest gathering of HR professionals, documented in both the Golden Book of World Records and the Limca Book of Records.
Beyond his motivational speaking and business coaching, Bindra is also a prolific author, having written numerous books on motivation, time management, and career development, including titles like “Everything About Leadership” and “Double Your Growth through Excellent Customer Service.” In 2023, he drew widespread attention by introducing a free 10-day MBA course, providing valuable insights into various business aspects, further cementing his commitment to education and empowerment. However, his year was not without controversy, as he faced challenges including a public dispute with fellow motivational speaker Sandeep Maheshwari and allegations of domestic abuse shortly after his marriage. Nevertheless, Dr. Vivek Bindra continues to inspire countless individuals, embodying the resilience and strength of a true leader in the world of business and motivation.
