What clients say about Tanmay Bakshi

"I have known Tanmay Bakshi for probably close to 8 years. In that time I have watched him grow from a budding tech genius...into a full-grown tech genius. No exaggeration. We produce corporate events, and I can remember working with Tanmay when he spoke as a young teenager, maybe 12 years old, at a huge IBM conference. He blew me - and our IBM executives - away with his knowledge, his expertise, as well as his composure and his confidence on-stage. I knew then he was destined to be a technology superstar. Move over Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Here comes Tanmay Bakshi. I cannot say enough good things about this young man. I recommend him highly." Mark Felix, Noise Maker, Director Entertainment Services, Drury
“Tanmay Bakshi has been recognized in the legislative assembly of Manitoba, Canada at the age of 12. His keynotes transcend the traditional boundaries of technology. Tanmay’s talk on creativity and AI technology, their intersection and wider impact on society, which he delivered as keynote speaker at the Creative Foundation’s 20th anniversary at the tender age of 15 left an indelible impression on the Hon.
