My Journey of Resilience & Success

Foundational years

Born into a humble Gujarati family in the vibrant slums of Mumbai, Sagar Amlani’s early years were marked by resourcefulness and perseverance. The bustling environment taught him the value of time, relationships, money, education, and life.

Turning Point

A pivotal moment came when his family lost everything in the flood of July 26, 2005. Amidst this adversity, his mother’s words, “Nature has everything in abundance; learn to channelize it,” ignited a new zeal in Sagar, fostering his resilience and grit.

The Climb

Determined to restore his family’s dignity, Sagar worked multiple jobs and aspired to study abroad. In September 2007, he secured a scholarship at a university in London, beginning his educational journey. He worked part-time to fund his education as a loader, bartender, and litter picker, and he also gave tuition for maths and chemistry.

Struggle to Strength

The challenges of his early life became the foundation of his unique perspective as a Productivity Explorer. He completed his Master’s in 2009 in London, further honing his skills and expertise.

A Milestone

In 2010, the family got their respect, dignity and pride as they moved out of the slums to a flat in Mumbai, which they peacefully live in without the fear of water seeping in through the floor or leaking roof.
Sagar’s dream was fulfilled in 2016 when he shifted his whole family to their own Villa.

Growth

From a Trainee to Vice President, Sagar progressed in his career.

In 2018, he initiated and hosted the LinkedIn Local community in Hyderabad.

In his drive to give back to society, he combined networking via LinkedIn local events to fund and build an orphanage.

Today that orphanage serves 40 kids

Twist

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sagar turned adversity into opportunity by pursuing an Executive Master’s in Change Management from the University of Glasgow & and writing his first book, “At the Crossroads of Life.”

Leap of Faith

Sagar founded Zapro Consultants, starting a new career as a keynote speaker and author. His second book, “The Key,” and his bestseller, “The Power of AIM,” have impacted over 10,000 individuals.

The Journey Continues

Sagar continues to inspire as a global keynote speaker, author of three bestsellers, and business consultant, demonstrating the power of resilience and the value of early life challenges. He remains committed to giving back to society and enriching lives.

What People Say

I have met Sagar at an international convention. Rarely I had so quick report with somebody who was not only interested in what I was doing, he showed that he was an expert in his field. I am using LinkedIn for years now, I guess like everybody, you post something and that's it. Within seconds he made my account hot, and the first post, of a normal photo, was trending in day one. The beauty of it all is that I reached out for something else to Mr. Amlani: He is an Expert Speaker. I had a closing Keynote Speech in Delhi, coming from Amsterdam, The Netherland, I always hook up with a 'local' to check some insights I have for the audience. Before I looked, Sagar was in my inbox offering his help. He gave me some great tips and came with a brand new opening, that rocket. I had the guts to follow his thoughts, after all, he is a Speaker Expert. So I strongly recommend Sagar Amlani in a Speaker Line up.

When you meet people like sagar you think how can one person do so much, achieve so much and yet be so humble. I have so many people in his network who swear by his skills, helping nature and network. You ask him anything and he gets you a guy who does it for you. His journey from the hardships of Mumbai chawls to upscale lifestyle in Hyderabad is very inspirational. Have heard him talk at multiple occasions. Once when he shared his journey the audience was very emotional and could see a few tears rolling down. In his LinkedIn mastery class have seen transformational results in 30 min in almost all attendees social media visibility. Sagar you have a metal that is rare and I am proud to say that I know you personally. God bless 🙂

Sagar is a rare human being with a golden heart who is always finding ways to give. Met him at his LinkedIn local Hyderabad event. It did not seem that I met him for the first time. His warmth, contagious smile, and a very easy approach to life helped me connect with him from the word go. They say if your hearth is in place, you can do wonderful work and help all around you. Sagar is one such person.
