Venkat – The Cosmic Storyteller Who Inspires, Impacts, and Ignites Leadership Through Story
In a world driven by titles, designations, and hierarchical power, Mr. Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy—affectionately known as Venkat—brings a radically human perspective to leadership. With his latest book, INSPIRE IMPACT IGNITE. Leadership is a STORY: Not a TITLE, Venkat redefines what it means to be a leader. Drawing from his own transformative journey from corporate corridors to contemplative retreats, Venkat invites readers to see leadership not as an inherited right or a professional milestone, but as a conscious choice—available to everyone and expressed most powerfully through storytelling.
Venkat’s journey has been anything but conventional. Once leading a major Indian conglomerate, he reached the pinnacle of traditional success, only to feel an inner calling that transcended boardroom decisions and profit margins. That calling led him to explore meditation, energy healing, and spiritual inquiry, eventually culminating in his emergence as a cosmic storyteller and awareness coach. He didn’t leave leadership behind; instead, he elevated it—infusing it with heart, depth, and soul. His evolution from a corporate leader to a holistic mentor forms the foundation of his thought leadership and breathes authenticity into every page of his book.
INSPIRE IMPACT IGNITE is not just another self-help book or business manual. It’s a visionary manifesto that democratizes leadership. It speaks to CEOs, aspiring professionals, mothers, social influencers, and changemakers alike. Venkat believes that the capacity to lead lies in everyone, and the only prerequisite is a story—a story rooted in authenticity, purpose, and lived experience. The book acts as both a mirror and a map. It encourages readers to reflect on their own journeys, challenges, and wisdom, while also guiding them through step-by-step exercises, storytelling templates, and practical frameworks to harness their voice and influence.
What sets the book apart is its holistic approach. Venkat doesn’t stop at theory. He integrates structured storytelling techniques with the wisdom of ancient philosophies and the emotional intelligence needed in today’s world. Whether navigating a corporate crisis or resolving a personal conflict at home, Venkat’s storytelling strategies help readers approach challenges with empathy, clarity, and impact. The book provides a roadmap for personal and professional transformation by showing how stories can heal divisions, inspire collaboration, and spark change from within.
For Venkat, storytelling is more than communication—it’s a form of leadership energy. Every leader has the power to inspire action not by authority, but by resonance. Through his work, he enables individuals to move from being reactive to being responsive, from managing people to awakening purpose in them. By shifting the focus from control to connection, he brings out the inner leader that resides quietly in every human being—waiting for a story to set it free.
Venkat’s body of work reflects the seamless fusion of his spiritual depth and creative versatility. As the founder of “One In the Universe (OIU),” he curates nature-inspired, healing lifestyle products that are not only futuristic in design but also spiritually aligned. This unique venture mirrors his personal philosophy—that leadership begins with self-awareness, and that living in harmony with nature and oneself is the foundation for any meaningful impact in the world. His commitment to harmony also comes through in his courses like “Awaken the Healer Within,” where he gently guides participants to tap into their inner wisdom, fostering healing, clarity, and conscious leadership.
Beyond his latest book, Venkat has authored other transformative works such as How Chakras Liberate You from Your Karma and The Art of Leadership Storytelling – Mastering Influence, Engagement, and Persuasion. These works are not standalone texts but extensions of his mission to elevate human consciousness through every medium available—books, workshops, design, or daily rituals. His writing is imbued with metaphors from mythology, lessons from nature, and stories from his personal spiritual quests, making it deeply relatable and universally relevant.
Venkat’s journey reflects the shift many leaders are now called to make—from leading with dominance to leading with awareness. In his world, leadership is no longer a role but a responsibility. It is not marked by how many follow you, but by how deeply you connect, inspire, and awaken others to their truth. In the current landscape where empathy, authenticity, and communication have become more vital than ever, INSPIRE IMPACT IGNITE arrives as a timely guidebook. It gently reminds us that the most impactful leaders are not those who command silence, but those who inspire voices—especially their own—to rise with integrity and purpose.
In today’s hyper-digital, hyper-divided world, Venkat’s work brings back the human touch. His storytelling revives the oral traditions that once served as the bedrock of civilizations, yet reimagines them for the modern mind and heart. He doesn’t just teach leadership—he lives it. From boardroom strategies to inner healing, from written word to spoken truth, Venkat walks the talk, demonstrating that real influence comes from alignment—of vision, voice, and values.
Venkat is not just an author or a coach; he is a movement in motion. His life, his words, and his work all come together to tell a story—one of courage, consciousness, and connection. And through INSPIRE IMPACT IGNITE, he invites you to become the storyteller of your own legacy. Because in the end, leadership is not about being followed—it’s about being remembered for how you made others feel, grow, and believe in their own story.
