Career

Since the beginning of his course, Appurv had realised that he didn’t want to pursue a career in engineering, therefore he began seeking an alternative career option. In an interview, he said,

In the first year itself, I had realised that engineering is not my cup of tea, but I completed my studies as my parents wanted me to.”

While he was exploring different professions, his brother advised him to join a non-profit public speaking organization called Toastmasters International, wherein people from all age groups come together to teach and practice public speaking techniques. While remembering his days at Toastmasters, he said,

I started performing at the Toastmasters Club. Over the next three years, I gave a number of performances. Some people told me I was funny, which encouraged me. I tried my hand at humorous speeches. Then someone told me that I should try my hand at stand-up comedy.”

While working with Toastmasters International, he performed around 1000 stage shows, inaugurated clubs in different locations, took many leadership roles.
