Just completed a truly enriching journey with Skillstr!
Grateful for the certificate and the valuable lessons learned. A special shoutout to Manu Menon for his impactful training methods and profound insights that resonate deeply. Wish I had nurtured these skills much earlier — thankful to have gained them now.
Thank you, Team Skillstr, for making this happen. I feel more equipped than ever to take on the world – both professionally and personally.
Anwesha Pati, Strategist
Stepping into the world of marketing, planning, and strategy, I realised that success isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s about mastering how to do it. And that’s exactly where Skillstr made all the difference.
Over the past month, these sessions weren’t just classes; they were transformative conversations that helped me see things differently. From breaking down problems to actually solving them, from crafting a pitch that lands to understanding my own growth needs and mapping out a real plan to get there, even tackling the ever-intimidating topic of salary negotiations, it all felt like learning the unspoken rules of career success.
But beyond the skills, the biggest shift was in how I see my journey. It’s not just about climbing a ladder; it’s about building bridges, between my aspirations and real action, between personal growth and making an impact where it matters.
A huge thank you to Manu Menon for making this learning experience so insightful, relatable, and, honestly, fun. You’ve helped me connect the dots in ways I hadn’t even considered. For anyone looking to grow in their career, push themselves to do better, and find clarity in their path, the opportunity is right there, you just have to take it.

The Skillstr leadership training was a very enjoyable and informative session.
The program was packed with stimulating activities and valuable insights. The use of numerous self-evaluation helped us with a better understanding of our behaviour in various situations. This will go a long way in helping our mid-level managers become better people managers. The movie towards the end provided a deeper understanding of how transformational leaders function. Combined work in small teams encouraged dialogue with one another and added to the fun factor in the training. Thanking Skillstr Coach for the wonderful work in understanding our needs perfectly and delivering such a valuable program.

Skillstr coach took a class for us on Digital Money and frankly, I got quite nervous when I first heard the topic. Thanks to him, all my doubts were proved wrong in one hour!
He has a gift for simplifying complex concepts and articulating them with a certain ease. I thoroughly enjoyed his hands-on approach which allowed me to practically apply the concepts he taught us. I wish all our classes could be more like his!

Skillstr training was unlike any I've experienced!
It focused specifically on building a strong conceptual foundation by emphasising on using first principles to break down complex sales challenges and create effective, and innovative solutions. This approach has been instrumental for curating my business development strategies and approaching customer discussions. More than just theory, it will help in gaining practical knowledge directly applicable to real-world scenarios, empowering them to tackle challenges head-on. Adding to that, incorporating AI could further tailor the experience, making it even more impactful by adapting to each individual's areas of growth.

Working with Skillstr coach during my internship was a transformative experience!
What truly stood out was his unique approach to bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world industry practices. He didn't just teach me how to conduct market research; he guided me in developing critical thinking skills, fostering creativity, and enhancing my networking abilities. He showed me how to transform data into meaningful insights and present them in a compelling way to stakeholders. His guidance on voice modulation and storytelling took my presentation skills to the next level, making my work not only logical and well-structured but also engaging and impactful. This holistic approach to learning, which combines technical expertise with effective communication and networking, is something I believe everyone should experience. It’s invaluable for anyone looking to excel in market research, analysis, and beyond.

Shrank Kumar, Technical Lead
Skillstr workshop stood out for its practical, hands-on approach and interactive sessions.
It made complex leadership concepts easy to grasp and apply. Everyone should attend it because it offers actionable insights and real-world strategies that can significantly enhance leadership skills and team dynamics.
Prabhanjan Balakrishnan, Pricing Analyst
I think what stood out to me working with Skillstr coach was a mix of a global as well as a local market approach.
I always assumed that it's always good to look at situations from a global standpoint to be more open-minded. Working with Skillstr coach specifically taught me that along with that, the important thing is to understand the local perspectives and problems before going on to tackle global issues. I think people should learn to approach business cases like this so that local communities aren't neglected or negatively impacted while trying to make a change in the world. After my experience with Skillstr coach, I truly believe that change starts by fixing the local situation. Then we can focus on tackling the global issues. Like they say, before you take care of others, take care of yourself and your home first.
