About Emcee & Public Speaking Coaching
My Approach
Your voice can do a lot more than you think. I see it as an instrument you have to learn to play, whether you’re aiming to be a pro emcee or just want to handle a tough crowd at work. For me, it’s never just about holding a mic - it’s about the grind, the nerves, the late nights, and yeah, sometimes chasing payments. Par kya kare (but what to do), that’s showbiz.
What I Offer
- Real, practical coaching based on my own journey from engineering to every kind of stage you can imagine.
- One-on-one mentorship for aspiring emcees. We dive into building your brand, finding gigs, and handling the chaos behind the scenes.
- Presentation skills training for anyone who wants people to actually listen. I break down complex topics into easy stories and help you use your voice with confidence - no more monotone.
- Stage presence workshops focused on body language, reading the room, and all those tiny things that make a big difference.
- Tips for multilingual event hosting. Ellarigu namaskara (hello everyone), a bit of local language goes a long way in making people feel included.
Why Me
I’m not going to sell you shortcuts. It takes time, and freezing on stage is normal. What matters is learning how to bounce back and connect, no matter what. If you want stage confidence coaching that’s real, hands-on, and honest, I’ve got you.

My Story
Hey, I’m Ruchi. People always guess I’m younger—till I start talking, then they know! I started in electronics engineering, but honestly, I just wanted to be on stage. Miss Malad 2018, some ramp walks, college fest hosting, all that. Not gonna lie, this industry can be tough. Got body-shamed, heard ‘let’s fix you’ from a doctor. That hit hard. Gym and self-care changed things for me. My first emcee gig was a birthday party, and now I’ve done TEDx. Didn’t plan any of this, but here I am, loving every bit.
My Work
Events I Host - Corporate events, weddings, product launches, awards nights, team offsites, expos—if it needs energy, I’m there.
Spontaneous Crowd Engagement - I don’t stick to the script if it’s not working. I read the room and improvise to get everyone involved.
Multilingual Hosting - I can anchor in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Kannada. Toh chaliye, let’s make your event lively!
Prep and Personalization - I research, customize, and rehearse for every event. You get a partner, not just a voice.
Professionalism with Personality - I treat every event like it’s my own brand—punctual, prepared, and always levelling up.
