Meet Vikrant Joshi
YOUR GUIDE TO THE ART OF STORYTELLING
Some people study leadership. Vikrant Joshi builds it, in classrooms, across borders, and inside the movements shaping our response to the world's biggest challenges.
As Co-Founder and VP of Manakal, he's spent years turning young people across the Global South into leaders who can act, not just aspire.
As Editor-in-Chief of Planet First Press, he gives changemakers the platform to be heard on the issues that matter most. And as a mentor to the next generation of communicators and strategists, he's helped countless emerging leaders find the words, and the confidence, to turn their ideas into action.
His credentials speak for themselves:
a graduate of the United People Global Sustainability Leadership Programme,
honored with four distinctions including Valedictorian and Top Earth Champion,
a contributor to The Olivebranch, a global climate education toolkit reaching educators and youth leaders worldwide, SND
a mentor with Konseye, guiding careers and communication strategy for those ready to lead.
But what makes Vikrant worth learning from isn't the list of titles, it's the throughline connecting them: the conviction that communication is the skill that turns capability into collective action.
In this masterclass, he's distilling everything he's learned building movements, partnerships, and platforms across cultures, so you can do the same.
You keep telling people what you sell, but you're not telling them why they should care.
You have stories inside your business, but you don't know how to identify them or turn them into powerful narratives.
You want your business to be understood, remembered, trusted and chosen, but you're not sure how storytelling can help you get there.

You're in the right place.
It is your time to Level up!
YOUR BUSINESS STORY OUTCOME:
Become understood, remembered, trusted and chosen.

Storytelling isn't about becoming famous.
It's about helping the right people understand why your business matters, remember you, trust you and choose you.
Storytelling 101 will help you uncover the stories already inside your business, shape them into powerful narratives, and put them in front of the right people.
This is a brief summary of the Modules inside the course.

Learn the five building blocks: Character, Goal, Conflict, Choice and Transformation.
Learn how to make your audience the hero of the story and communicate your business in a way that connects with what they care about.
