The Story

A good host reads the room first

Off stage, he's Vinay Batra. On it, he's The Modish Monk — a name that pairs a sharp eye for style with a monk's calm under pressure. He briefs with the organiser, learns who is in the room, and keeps the programme moving without ever rushing anyone.

Online, he shares that same mix of calm and colour with his followers, and works with brands that fit that voice.
