13TH USLS 2025 - Simerjeet Singh

LEAD THE CHANGE
Simerjeet Singh’s story begins with a bold choice. After nearly a decade of working in the global hospitality industry across five countries, building what many would call a “flourishing career,” he walked away from the comfort of a stable paycheck and international success.
In 2007, he returned to his hometown of Jalandhar, India, to start over from scratch. It was not an easy decision. But it was a conscious act of disruption: what the Kalahari Bushmen call answering the Big Hunger, the deep inner calling that whispers there’s more you can do with your life.
That leap of faith became the foundation of a global career in motivation speaking and leadership coaching, where Simerjeet has now spent over 19 years helping audiences navigate change and transformation. Featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Today, Republic Today, and other leading publications, he is consistently ranked among the top 10 motivational speakers in India and is regarded as one of the most sought-after keynote speakers on change, innovation, leadership, and growth mindset internationally. Affectionately known as The Disruption Coach, he works with Fortune 500 companies, governments, nonprofits, universities, and global conferences, distilling lessons from his wide experience into stories and frameworks that are simple, relatable, and actionable.

Why Simerjeet Singh Stands Out Among the Top Keynote Speakers on Change and Leadership
Simerjeet doesn’t just talk about change—he has lived it. From breaking away from a promising career path, to building an international speaking practice from a Tier-2 city in India that today serves clients across the world, his personal journey is a testament to the power of embracing disruption with courage. His keynotes stand apart because they are not just about theories or management jargon. They are conversations filled with humor, wit, and metaphors that stick. He takes wisdom distilled from working with leaders at companies like Meta, Deloitte, Siemens, and Indian Oil, and repackages it into youth-friendly storytelling that can resonate with a student in Kuala Lumpur as much as with a CEO in San Francisco.

What You’ll Learn from this full-length Keynote on Leadership, Innovation, and Growth Mindset?
This keynote, shot with a live audience of youth leaders from over 30 countries, is a deep dive into why change is inevitable, and why leadership is what gives that change direction. Simerjeet uses stories that span cultures and industries: from the Ice Bucket Challenge redefining fundraising, to Rosa Parks sparking a civil rights movement, to entrepreneurs like Jan Koum (WhatsApp) and Nick Woodman (GoPro) turning personal frustrations into billion-dollar innovations.
The talk encourages you to ask big questions: What hurts you the most? What fuels your Big Hunger? What change do you want to lead? Through interactive reflection and powerful storytelling, Simerjeet makes it clear that leadership is not about position or power. It’s about making intentional choices, whether in your own life, your company, or your community.

Why You Should Watch
If you’re a young person eager to make a difference, an educator preparing students for tomorrow, or a professional navigating disruption at work, this video will speak to you. It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about starting now. Simerjeet leaves audiences with two unforgettable questions that continue to echo long after the applause fades:
If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?

The bottom line is technology can assist, systems can manage, but only human beings can lead the change.
