Rehan Poncha Corporate Talks

"In my view success can be defined in one word "Perseverance". It's the one thing I based my career on. It's what kept me going against the odds of swimming against people who were 1.5 times my size, with more talent, or with access to far better facilities. I was born premature and was a very sickly child. The doctors advised my parents to get me into the water to beat respiratory ailments. I swam my first race at 7, and came second last. I hated it. I've always been very competitive and hate to lose. At 7, after losing that race, I was probably one of the most disturbed people on the planet and told my dad I'd keep swimming till I won. That's how I began swimming, fell in love with the water, with racing, and never stopped. Perseverance - that's how I spell success." - Rehan Poncha.

There is nothing more inspiring than being with someone who has lived a life of deep discipline, determination and beaten the odds to taste success.

And he tells it very well, holding audiences as much with his intellect and wit as his genuinely easy connect with people.

Using real examples from his life of perseverance, hard work and sacrifice, Rehan's story holds practical lessons for the challenges in every journey - be it the life of a student, a corporate executive, an athlete or a leader.
