Indranil Chakraborty

When leaders struggle to make messages stick and inspire action, Indranil Chakraborty (IC) helps them harness the power of storytelling to drive clarity, engagement, and transformation. In his compelling and insight-driven keynotes, the founder of StoryWorks and bestselling author shows how stories can influence behaviour, communicate strategy, and create lasting impact. His work focuses on enabling organisations to move beyond data-heavy communication and build narratives that people understand, remember, and act on.

Since founding StoryWorks in 2013, IC has worked with organisations to embed storytelling into leadership communication, helping leaders make complex ideas around vision, values, strategy, and change more accessible and actionable. He is the author of the national bestseller Stories At Work, which provides practical frameworks for using storytelling to influence, engage, and inspire across organisations.

IC’s work extends across multiple business challenges, including employee engagement, knowledge management, employer branding, and behaviour change, equipping leaders with tools to connect more effectively with their teams. His approach combines structure, creativity, and real-world application, ensuring that storytelling becomes a strategic capability rather than a soft skill.

He has delivered keynotes and workshops for leading organisations such as Accenture, American Express, Barclays, Cognizant, Godrej, Mercedes-Benz, Tata Group, Unilever, and BPCL, helping them strengthen communication and drive alignment at scale.

Beyond his professional work, IC remains passionate about helping leaders rediscover the human side of communication—because when stories are used effectively, they do more than inform; they inspire action and create lasting change.
