About Vikram Sathaye
Vikram Sathaye is one of India's original English-language stand-up comedians and one of the country's most recognizable cricket-comedy voices, known for turning corporate keynotes into genuinely entertaining sessions. Following engage4more's STRIVE framework for impactful keynotes, his sessions blend sharp humor with structured business insight rather than comedy for its own sake.
Before comedy, Vikram spent six years as a media executive at organizations including PMG, MTV, and Metalight Films — corporate experience that now grounds his keynotes in genuine business fluency rather than outsider observation. His breakout moment came at the 2006 CEAT Cricket Awards, and he went on to create “What The Duck,” a cricket-comedy digital show that ran three hit seasons on Viu, featuring 20+ legendary cricketers. He is also the bestselling author of How Sachin Destroyed My Life, a memoir of his cricket obsession and career pivot. Through engage4more, which has coordinated 5,000+ corporate events across India, Vikram has been booked for corporate keynotes, event hosting, leadership offsites, and employee engagement sessions covering sports, comedy, business, politics, and popular culture, delivered in an engaging emcee-plus-keynote format.
His momentum has carried strongly into 2025–2026: an April 2025 exchange4media feature marking his birthday reaffirmed his standing “corporate host and motivational speaker” status, with 1,500+ engagements spanning 20 countries. Beyond the stage, he co-founded Bawraas with Bollywood musicians Swanand Kirkire and Shantanu Moitra to support unconventional career paths, and co-hosts “Think Cricket” with Harsha Bhogle for senior corporate audiences. He has also done broadcast stints on SET MAX, ESPN Star Sports, and IBN Lokmat, and has done around 3,000 shows worldwide combining comedy, cricket, and corporate insight — with Viu's leadership calling the original “What The Duck” launch “a grand success” among cricket fans.
