A 41-minute exploration of how humanity, technology, and leadership must evolve together to shape a future that is equitable, meaningful, and driven by human potential.
This 41-minute talk centers on the core idea that the future must be built around human values rather than technological momentum. Rohit Talwar begins by mapping out the forces reshaping society: automation, AI, demographic shifts, and accelerating geopolitical uncertainty. He argues that while technology is advancing at record speed, institutions and leadership models remain anchored to outdated assumptions. The result is a widening gap between what’s possible and what’s being implemented.
Talwar pushes the audience to consider future scenarios where humans flourish rather than simply adapt. He highlights the tension between efficiency-driven systems and human well-being, emphasizing that technology should augment people, not dictate their lives. His examples range from AI-enabled healthcare and personalized education to new economic models designed to distribute opportunity more equitably. Throughout the talk, he stresses the importance of imagination, long-range thinking, and ethical frameworks to guide innovation.
He also lays out a set of leadership imperatives: questioning legacy mindsets, challenging short-termism, investing in foresight capability, and building cultures that reward experimentation and empathy. Talwar calls for organizations to rethink metrics of success, shifting from productivity alone to measures of positive societal impact.
A deep dive into the disruptive technologies reshaping industries, leadership, and long-range strategy, delivered through a clear, practical, and future-focused keynote.
This 1 hour 26 minute keynote explores the accelerating landscape of emerging technologies and the strategic implications for organizations trying to stay ahead of rapid change. Rohit Talwar opens by challenging the audience to rethink their assumptions about progress, noting that exponential technologies rarely unfold in straight lines. Instead, their biggest impact comes once early experimentation gives way to scalable adoption, often catching incumbents unprepared. He frames the session around the need to strengthen foresight capability, build adaptability into operations, and prepare for multiple possible futures rather than betting on a single outcome.
Talwar walks through a series of technological domains gaining momentum, including artificial intelligence, immersive computing, blockchain, autonomous systems, advanced materials, and next-generation biotechnology. For each area, he outlines both transformative potential and the friction points organizations must be ready for. He highlights how AI will influence knowledge work, customer experience, and decision-making, while blockchain could reshape trust models and supply chains. He also underscores how automation and robotics will continue to reconfigure labor markets, pushing leaders to prepare for new skill sets and redesigned roles.
A recurring theme is the tension between technological promise and organizational readiness. Talwar emphasizes that most companies underinvest in exploring emerging tools, not because teams lack intelligence but because legacy structures slow experimentation. He encourages leaders to carve out space for scenario planning, small-scale pilots, and disciplined learning cycles that help uncover real value. He also reinforces the importance of ethics and responsibility, noting that the choices made now around privacy, bias, transparency, and societal impact will shape public trust for decades.
A fast-paced 20-minute exploration of the disruptive forces shaping leadership, innovation, and the future of work, delivered with clarity and forward-thinking urgency.
This 20-minute keynote focuses on how leaders can prepare for a world being reshaped by exponential technologies, shifting expectations, and rising complexity. Rohit Talwar opens by outlining the scale of disruption already underway, emphasizing that many industries are being transformed not by direct competitors but by unexpected players applying new business models and emerging tools. He warns leaders against assuming that gradual change will continue; instead, he urges them to prepare for sudden leaps.
Talwar highlights the increasing influence of artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, and hyperconnectivity. He discusses how these developments will alter customer behavior, economic structures, and organizational design. Rather than reacting to each new technology in isolation, he encourages leaders to build a more holistic understanding of the broader transformation ahead. His message centers on the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to abandon outdated habits that hinder progress.
He also stresses the need for leadership cultures that reward experimentation. Talwar argues that organizations must learn quickly, test ideas cheaply, and scale only what works. He challenges conventional planning approaches, suggesting that long-term strategies must be adaptable, scenario-based, and open to radical reinvention. Throughout the talk, he emphasizes that future-ready leadership is about mindset as much as capability: staying open, asking better questions, and creating space for people to think beyond the immediate pressures of the day.

It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
