Energy and Synergy with Ankit Fadia By Gail Davis | Monday, November 15, 2010
Last week Ankit Fadia visited our office. Being around Ankit is an energy rush. His accomplishments are incredible for a 25 year old. Yet, only a 25 year old would have the energy to do what he does!!
Ankit wrote his first book at 14. He began speaking at age 15 and today he runs a successful security consulting firm. He also runs training courses in India and China on computer security, is the host of his own show on MTV India called What the Hack, has a lucrative speaking career AND is a world traveler who takes the time to meet locals and truly experience the places he visits.
I met in Ankit in 2007 and began representing him. At the time , his speaking career focused on a presentation called “Hacked”. The presentation is usually two hours long and very interactive.
The idea of the presentation is to scare everyone through his use of audience volunteers showing the ease of breaking passwords and getting into email and credit card accounts. He also scrolls down a screen showing everyone’s mobile phone that has blue tooth enabled. Audiences gasp when they see their name and phone number scrolling on the screen. Most of us have no idea how vulnerable we are to technological break-ins.
This presentation is still a crowd favorite because it is very hands on, scary, exciting, educational, very much a performance, and fast paced...perfect for someone with a short attention span.
During the last 15 minutes...Ankit gives real solutions as take-home for audience members to implement.
Since 2007, many of our clients have booked Ankit. Most of them have wanted to bring him back a second time. To respond to this request, Ankit created a presentation called “The Digital Social.”
This presentation will allow audiences to learn everything about Social Media and how it impacts their personal and business lives. Ankit will focus on the good, the bad and the ugly. Social Media has become an absolute necessity in every organization's marketing and sales strategy. He will address questions like…How can you effectively use Social Media to increase your sales and communicate better with your customers? What were some of the best social media marketing strategies successfully used by companies across the world in the last year? How can you create a successful Social media strategy for your business without spending a lot of money? How are cyber criminals now misusing Social Networking websites to commit crimes against innocent individuals? What are some of the DO’s and DON’T’s that you and your family should keep in mind while using Social Networking websites?
The best part about Ankit is that our clients love working with him. He is genuine, fun, charming and engaging. Last month we booked him for a group of business leaders who are all over the age of 50. The feedback we received included a comment that “he was well mannered”. At first we all laughed about that and then we realized it is a big part of the package. Ankit is 25 …he has the accomplishments of many adults twice his age, yet he bring youth and energy and relates to all!
