Hitesh Ramchandani is on a mission to inspire 50 million people to be ‘better than normal.’

What’s your story?
I was born with cerebral palsy due to a doctor’s negligence at birth. My parents wanted the doctor to do a c-section, but he decided to do a normal delivery instead. In the process, I was born leg first, instead of head first like healthy babies are born. I lost oxygen for 90 seconds, and that is the cause of my cerebral palsy. After that, the doctor had the cheek to say that I won’t live for more than 24 hours. Until now, 26 years have passed, I’m alive, but I think the doctor died.

What excites you most about your industry?
My mission is to inspire 50,000,000 people by 2050 to become BETTER THAN NORMAL.

What’s your connection to Asia?
My mother is from India and I am currently living in Jaipur, Rajashtan, India.

Favourite city in Asia for business and why?
India. It has a population of 1.3 Billion. That means 1.3 billion people for me to instill the BETTER THAN NORMAL mindset and lifestyle.

What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
Take one step every single day to step out of your comfort zone which is also your prison zone, so that you can strive to become the best version of yourself.

Who inspires you?
My cousin-brother Vicky Vaswani inspires me because if it wasn’t for him, I would have never ever dreamed of becoming a global motivational speaker. He is the man behind my success and I look up to him as a role model.

What have you just learnt recently that blew you away?
I recently learnt about the power of becoming an influencer. It is crazy how much “power” some influencers have over the masses. In some cases it is even more than the government of the country.

If you had your time again, what would you do differently?
I would have join Toastmasters earlier to help me overcome my crazy fear of public speaking. I waited a little too long but, I guess everything is about timing, isn’t it?

How do you unwind?
Gym, movies in the cinema and chilling with friends.

Favourite Asian destination for relaxation? Why?
Bali, Indonesia. I love the beaches there as well as the friendly people.

Everyone in business should read this book:
Jack Canfield, ‘The Success Principles.’ It is not a business book per say but this is the book that changed not just my business but also my life.

Shameless plug for your business:
I would like to ask you to join me on my mission to inspire 50,000,000 people by 2050 to become BETTER THAN NORMAL. If you know any organisation that is looking for a motivational speaker for their next event or conference, please send them my way! I specialise in these 3 topics:

Key Takeaway: Pony Ma, co-founder of Tencent Holdings, has regained the title of China’s richest individual with a net worth of over A$65 billion. His rise reflects Beijing’s control over its private sector, which aligns with the state’s goals in China’s unique “socialist market economy.” Tencent’s success, including the AAA video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” […]

Key Takeaway: Inclusive wealth, a concept that includes not just economic output but also natural resources, human skills, and social networks, is gaining traction among international institutions like the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Key Takeaway: The “no-sleep challenge” has become a dangerous trend on social media, with some individuals trying to break world records for consecutive days without sleep.

Chronic sleep deprivation […]
Key Takeaway: China’s Chang’e 5 mission has challenged long-held assumptions about the Moon’s volcanic past, suggesting eruptions occurred far more recently than expected. The lunar landscape might not have been as dormant as once believed, with volcanic activity on the Moon potentially being active as recently as 120 million years ago. The findings suggest that […]
Key Takeaway: Sigmund Freud’s theory of sublimation aimed to explain why some people display extraordinary talent by transforming repressed sexual desires into creative or intellectual prowess. He believed that Leonardo da Vinci’s life and work exemplified this process, as he left many of his paintings unfinished and engaged in scientific experiments that derailed his artistic […]
Key Takeaway: High-altitude platform stations (HAPS) are emerging as a new frontier in communications technology, offering a unique blend of accessibility and affordability. Positioned between 4 and 30 miles above Earth, these stations bring telecommunications equipment closer to the surface than satellites, resulting in stronger, higher-capacity signals. Researchers have demonstrated that HAPS could provide high-speed […]
