Testimonials from corporate clients
“Imran’s bright, friendly style of humour was exactly what we needed at the time and his deep passion and knowledge for videogames was perfect for our games industry gathering.”
“Imran is the perfect choice for a games industry event, he knows the topic inside out and engages with gamers in an authentic, funny and friendly way. He’s also a pleasure to work with behind the scenes; a true professional and good-natured collaborator.”

“Imran captivated the audience with unparalleled enthusiasm as he shared his unique perspectives and personal journey in a thought-provoking session on what he calls ‘soft jihad’.
In this talk, Imran went beyond simply sharing his experiences as an Indian-British Muslim; he explored his quest for identity and meaning amidst the cultural and societal challenges he’s faced. From navigating personal struggles to his undocumented stay in the U.S. and his transformative pilgrimage in the Middle East, Imran’s story offered invaluable insights into how we, as individuals and communities, can strive for positive change through patience, understanding, and bridge-building.
What made this talk stand out was Imran’s masterful blending of humor and personal storytelling with deeper themes such as tolerance, conflict resolution, and the power of self-reflection. His approach to ‘soft jihad’—strengthening ourselves and our communities through peaceful interaction and mutual respect—delivered a powerful message that resonates in today’s often divided world.
This session was not only inspiring for our diverse audience of professors, researchers, students and civil society, but also a reminder of the power of storytelling and humor as tools for social change. I highly recommend Imran’s work and his ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging for a wide audience.”

“Imran was a true professional throughout the evening and a real pleasure to work from the initial briefing call. He worked really hard in rehearsals with Hazel and did everything he could to improve the delivery. Imran’s set was very interactive, very funny and he really owned the round stage. Throughout the awards, Imran worked very well with the 3 presenters and showed genuine interest in the award winners when they came to stage to collect their trophy and posed for a group photo. Imran is very likeable and had a real stage presence and fantastic energy. The audience felt comfortable and relaxed which was what we wanted. Majority of the audience loved his 10 minute comedy set, it was wonderful to see the room filled with laughter.”
