What People Are Saying...
“I had the pleasure of working with Sital as a talent partner supporting Microsoft’s Asia Pacific leadership teams. As we emerged from Covid, Sital led an invaluable career transition program for my team that helped us navigate a particularly challenging time. The program enabled our teams to better explore and manage career moves while navigating a large, complex organization – especially when many were unclear on potential roles, career paths, or next steps. As a leadership team, it also helped us engage and retain talent during the ‘Great Resignation’ period. The session’s impact was so profound that he was later asked to run it for other APAC business units.
Sital has an exceptional ability to see the big picture and catch emerging trends. He connects these insights to people, skills, and job roles, identifying a structure that is both practical and grounded.
His 4-stage framework, which is part of the career reinvention process he teaches and trains individuals and corporations on, is incredibly effective. With the rapid pace of AI, job disruption, and change, understanding how to reinvent oneself is more crucial than ever. Sital’s insights and strategies are essential for anyone looking to navigate their career in today’s dynamic environment.
I highly recommend Sital for his exceptional leadership, deep knowledge, and ability to empower others to take control of their career paths”
“Sital delivered an inspiring session on Talent Acquisition maturity and stakeholder influencing for our APAC Talent Acquisition Team in 2024 and I highly recommend him to others.
Prior to the session, Sital invested a lot of time with myself and other team members to understand the business context. This allowed him to deliver a session that was tailored to our needs which was greatly appreciated.
The session itself landed very well with the team. Sital has a way of blending theory/concepts whilst pulling through examples to make it “real” for the audience.”
“At our HR offsite in Hyderabad India, Sital facilitated a high impact workshop to our HR teams from across ASEAN, Australia, and New Zealand. The session focused on leading through change and uncertainty, and we had an incredibly diverse group.
It takes a skilful presenter to engage and galvanize such a diverse team, and it’s a credit to Sital’s abilities as a speaker, his emotional intelligence, and his cross-cultural awareness that he was able to do so. He has a highly inclusive style, making it possible to engage a cross-cultural group with differing backgrounds and styles.
Sital’s innovative approach and high-impact workshop left a lasting impression. The feedback from participants was very positive, and his ability to impart new skills and practical habits for our cultural transformation journey was invaluable.
This change journey was critical, as it coincided with a vital stage in Microsoft’s Cloud transformation journey and our HR transformation journey. The workshop played a pivotal role in equipping our teams with the essential enabling skills needed to drive our organization forward in transformational work, ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation and success.
I strongly recommend Sital for any organization seeking a dynamic and insightful facilitator who can empower teams, inclusive approach and drive impactful change.”
“Sital’s role as the emcee at our annual Room to Read women’s Bollywood fundraiser was nothing short of remarkable. We hosted 400 women at the prestigious Grand Copthorne Hotel for an unforgettable evening of glamour, fundraising, auctions, and dancing – Sital played a pivotal role in making it a resounding success.
What set Sital apart was his genuine passion and dedication to the cause of girls’ education and Room to Read. He took the time to connect with our organizing committee before the event, ensuring that every aspect of the evening was tailored to our specific needs and the diverse audience we had – a mix of Singaporean Chinese, Malay and Indian heritage alongside expatriate woman from all corners of the world.
The evening was nothing short of magnificent, and Sital’s presence added an extra layer of magic to it. Beyond his role at the event, he became a close partner for Room to Read in Singapore. Throughout my with Room To Read Singapore chapter, I couldn’t recommend Sital highly enough as a partner for supporting noble causes like girls’ education. He possesses the unique ability to host events for large groups while seamlessly adapting to the diverse personalities and cultures present.
Sital’s commitment to making a positive impact in the world, combined with his exceptional hosting skills, makes him an invaluable asset to any cause or event. We were fortunate to have him by our side, and I wholeheartedly endorse him for anyone seeking a dedicated partner in their mission to bring about positive change.”
“Given Sital’s strengths in coaching/training and workshop facilitation, I connected with him to partner with myself and my team at Haleon at a pivotal time as we prepared for our end-of-year reviews in 2024. Our goal was to help the team take greater ownership of their career development and make our career / development conversations more meaningful heading into our review period in 2025.
Haleon have a strong framework for career conversations as an organization, but the challenge was getting individuals to truly own their plans and take consistent action.
Sital designed and delivered a tailored program that introduced a practical four-stage model, helping the team reflect on where they were, what they wanted next, and how to move forward in a way that felt relevant and personal.
What really stood out was how much time Sital invested upfront – meeting with me and a sample of the team to understand our context, the cultural dynamics, and what would resonate best. That insight allowed him to shape a program that felt timely, grounded and energizing – with clear, personalised practical takeaways.
Sital acted as a catalyst to help the team really think about their growth and development, giving them the tools, space, and push they needed to take action. There were many ah-ha moments throughout the process and team engagement was high. The outcome of this has been that their development goals are now much more thoughtful and reflect how they want to take their growth forward throughout 2025.
Thanks so much Sital! The team were really inspired by what they learnt from you, as well as the stories that you shared with them throughout our engagement, from your own career perspective and those of others.”
“As part of our annual team offsite, Sital facilitated a workshop on ‘Managing Change with Uncertainty’ for our Global Executive Talent Acquisition Team and it was truly a transformative experience! Sital’s unique approach, filled with creativity and experiential exercises, made learning engaging, impactful and fun.
His high-energy, hands-on-style was incredibly inspiring and laughter-filled sessions left a lasting impression on all of us. Leading through a change journey requires us to keep teams energized as they navigate ambiguity and setbacks. Sital’s session did just that – with experiential exercises (not PowerPoint) to help the team form practical habits and handle roadblocks.
Sital’s ability to bring together a diverse, global team and facilitate meaningful connections was remarkable. The workshop left us with a renewed sense of energy and deep understanding of how to navigate change and uncertainty effectively. It was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to inspire their teams and drive positive change.”

What a way to finish the day. He was entertaining, informative and had everyone enthralled. We will definitely use Sital again.”
“Offering a relevant and valuable events agenda is fundamental for driving growth to any start-up alumni community. By delivering a series of careers workshops, focusing on “employability”, to BPP’s Alumni audience, Sital is offering a “hook” for BPPs Alumni to re-engage with their Alma Mata.
Sital’s method of delivery is practical, personal and entertaining which has provided extremely positive feedback to date. I am delighted to be working in collaboration with Sital.”
