“After six or seven interview rejections I was really low. The Interview Skills course with Naren sir was practical, no fluff — the STAR way of answering and the mock interviews were gold. I cracked a product company in three weeks. Worth every rupee.”

“I make good clothes but I could never sell them with words. Level 3 is all about convincing and selling on stage, and Naren sir taught it so well. At the exhibition I pitched to a bulk buyer without fumbling once and closed the order. This course pays for itself.”

“Earlier my legs would shake the moment a teacher said 'come to the front'. Level 1 and 2 fixed that. The impromptu practice helped me the most — now give me any topic and I can speak for a minute without going blank. Won the inter-school declamation this year. Thank you Naren sir and Disha ma'am.”

“Whenever my son got nervous he would start stammering and just give up. Naren sir taught him to pause and breathe before speaking — such a small thing, but it changed everything. He came second in the school elocution last month. We are so grateful.”

“I joined for the MUN & Mock Parliament course and honestly it was the best decision. Disha ma'am knows MUN inside out — points of order, position papers, how to lobby in the unmod. I won a Best Delegate award in my very first conference. Could not have done it without her.”

“We brought in Gurukul Drona for a Leadership & Team Building programme for our unit. Naren sir customised the whole thing to our people. Departments that never spoke to each other are finally working like one team, and even I picked up how to address my staff better. Money well spent.”

“My whole business runs on Instagram but I was terrified of coming on camera. Disha ma'am worked on my voice and my presence on screen, and now I shoot my reels without twenty retakes. My orders have almost doubled since I started showing my face. Thank you so much.”

“One-on-one I was perfectly fine, but the moment it was a room full of people I would freeze. Disha ma'am's batch at the Model Town centre changed that. I now lead our morning huddle every single day. Might be a small thing for some, but it was huge for me.”

“Both my girls would hide behind me at every function. Shreya di made them so comfortable that this year they anchored the entire annual day together. Half the parents came and asked me which academy they go to! I recommend Gurukul Drona to every shy child's mother.”

“My sales team was great with customers but hopeless on stage during launches. Naren sir's training gave them the confidence to host events and speak to a crowd. Our last showroom launch was run entirely by our own boys. Very happy with the results.”

“My English was okay but grammar was always my weak point, tenses especially. The way they explain it and then actually make you speak it is nothing like school. Now I don't think twice before framing a sentence. Thanks to the Gurukul Drona teachers and to Shreya ma'am for the confidence.”

“I present to senior leadership every quarter and I used to over-explain out of nervousness. Naren sir's line, 'own the pause', has stayed with me. Level 2 and 3 taught me to say less and hold the room. My last town-hall actually got applause.”

“Client presentations used to make me so anxious that I would talk too fast and lose them. Shreya ma'am worked on my voice modulation and how to structure my pitch. Clients take me far more seriously now, and I've stopped losing projects at the talking stage.”

“I kept telling my kids to learn public speaking and then realised at 46 that I needed it more than them. I did Level 1 with Naren sir and Disha ma'am and never once felt out of place among the youngsters. Now I speak at my association meetings without any notes. It really is never too late.”
