has a unique ability to connect with her audience and empower them to reach their full potential. Her passion, energy, and expertise shine through in everything she does. Shilpi''s sessions are engaging, informative, and transformative. She has a gift for breaking down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps that anyone can follow. Her writing is equally impressive, offering valuable insights and practical advice that resonate deeply. I highly recommend Shilpi Upadhyay for her exceptional work as a motivational speaker, teacher, and writer. Her presence is a gift to anyone seeking growth, inspiration, and positive change."

Shilpi Ma'am's expertise and compassionate guidance proved invaluable. She didn't just alleviate my son's doubts; she provided the precise direction he needed to confidently choose his academic subjects and strategically plan his future career. Her patient and practical advice brought immense clarity to our situation, and both my son and I remain profoundly grateful for her insightful intervention.

Shilpi Upadhyay Ma’am is one of those rare teachers who touch your life in the most gentle yet powerful way. The way she explains, guides, and encourages us comes straight from her experience and her genuinely caring heart. Being her student feels like having someone who believes in you even on the days you don’t believe in yourself. I’ve had the honour of learning from her and also volunteering in many events under her leadership. Every event brought new lessons, new confidence, and a sense of purpose. She creates an environment where you grow without even realising it, simply because she makes learning feel meaningful and joyful. Ma’am, thank you for your endless support, your kindness, and the way you always make us feel capable of achieving more. I feel truly grateful and proud to be your student.

Mam, you are not only a motivator. you are a guide, a teacher, and a true guru in every sense. You didn’t just guide, you helped me to discover myself. You helped me find direction when things felt blurry, you guided me at every step, and you enlightened my path by believing in me even when I doubted myself. Because of you, I have started looking at life differently. You changed the way I see the world, the challenges, and even my own capabilities. You made me realise that challenges don’t come to stop us, they come to shape us. Thank you for being someone who listens first, understands deeply, and then guides with so much warmth. I feel truly fortunate that life gave me a guide like you. You are incredible.. ??
