Speaking & Collaborations— Keynotes & Guest Talks

If you’d like to feature me for a podcast, panel, guest talk, or media story, this is the right place to connect.

I speak about reinvention, resilience, leadership, and what it truly means to rebuild — as a woman who moved from South India to the U.S. alone, rebuilt after an extreme deceit, went on to lead at Microsoft, Amazon, and AWS and founding Alchemy: Build with Ash & Expand Your Horizon.

Every conversation, keynote, or collaboration is personal and purposeful.

Whether it’s a short recorded story, a fireside-style interview, or a formal guest talk, I tailor my message to your audience — blending authentic storytelling with actionable wisdom drawn from both life and leadership.

🕊️ Testimonial:

“Interviewing Ash was one of those rare conversations that changes you — not just as a professional, but as a person.

She speaks with the calm authority of someone who’s lived every word she shares — from moving across continents alone to leading at Microsoft, Amazon, and AWS, and now helping others rebuild through Alchemy.

Her perspective on women, leadership, and life is a blend of heart and precision — she doesn’t offer clichés; she offers clarity.

Every listener walked away feeling seen, grounded, and inspired — whether they were navigating career pivots, personal loss, or simply searching for meaning in a noisy world.

Ash has that rare ability to turn vulnerability into wisdom and complex ideas into truth you can feel. She doesn’t just speak to a person— she speaks to the human in all of us.”
