Why this exists
Everyone has a story.
A minute from Ankita on why she started this.
What happens after you join
This isn't a webinar you sit through.
You'll leave with something you made: your story, written and recorded in your own voice.
01Discover — Find the moment in your life that matters.
02Write — Give it a beginning, a turn and an end.
03Share — Learn what makes a story land with a listener.
04Record — Tell it on your phone, in any language.
05Submit — Send it in.
06Selection — [Who reviews] reads every entry against [criteria]. Decision by [date].
07The stage — Chosen storytellers are prepared, and speak.
Sending your story in does not guarantee a place on the stage. Every entry is read and judged against the published criteria.

You don't need to be any of this.
A professional speaker. A celebrity. A coach. An influencer. An author. Good on camera. Fluent in English. Someone who has ever called themselves a storyteller.
You need one story.
This could be for you if…
—You lived through something that changed you
—You got past something hard
—You built something out of nothing
—You changed direction when it would have been easier not to
—You learned something the hard way
—People ask you about your journey
—You've had the feeling that there's a story in you
Maybe your story is about…
Starting again
When life made you begin from zero.
Overcoming
The thing you thought would break you.
Building
Something you made when nobody else could see it.
Losing
The person, chance or version of yourself you had to let go.
Discovering
The moment you understood something about yourself.
Changing
The decision that sent your life another way.
Becoming
The person you turned into through all of it.
Believing
What you chose to believe before there was any proof.
Your host
I've spent years listening to people's stories.
I've sat across from hundreds of people — stories of loss, of success, of starting over. Nearly every time, people don't arrive with a story. They arrive with experiences.
My work has always been helping people find the story inside those experiences, and say it out loud. Now I want to open that to the whole country.
India. I want to hear your story.
Ankita Mahajan · NLP & TLT Trainer · Business Coach
Real people. Real stories.
Before you join, try this.
Take a piece of paper. Write down three things.
One
A moment that broke you.
Two
A moment that changed you.
Three
A moment that taught you something.
Now look at what you wrote.
There's already a story in there.
10,000 stories.
One stage.
We're collecting ten thousand stories from across India.
Mumbai · Delhi · Bengaluru · Kolkata · Chennai · Hyderabad · Pune · Jaipur · Lucknow · Ahmedabad · Chandigarh · Kochi · Indore · Guwahati · and towns nobody puts on a list.
Different lives. Different languages.
One thing connects them — they have something to say.
Questions? Good.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining is free. There's nothing to pay at any stage.
Do I need speaking experience?
No. Most people who join have never told their story publicly.
Does my English need to be good?
No. Tell your story in the language you think in. [Languages accepted.]
What if I don't know what my story is?
That's the point of the first step. We start by helping you find it.
How long does it take?
[Total time commitment, over how many days.]
What exactly do I have to submit?
A recording of your story, [length], made on your phone. Instructions come after you join.
Does submitting mean I'll be on stage?
No. Every story is read and judged against the published criteria.
Who sees my story?
[Who reviews it, whether it's published, permissions.]
Is the ₹1,00,000 real?
Yes. One story receives it. The full terms are linked above.
What happens right after I join?
[WhatsApp or email, what arrives, how soon.]
Can I withdraw later?
[Your answer.]
So, what's your story?
Maybe you've carried it for years. Maybe you've never said it out loud. Maybe you never thought of it as a story at all. But somewhere in what you've lived, there's something only you can tell.
And it might matter more than you think.
