Woman, Man and Child... a beautiful story was penned down way back in the ‘garden city of India’ by Mrs Viney Rani Kapoor & Mr Vinod Kumar Kapoor…..DHIRAJ VINHOD KAPOOR. Dhiraj Vinod Kapoor was born on October 25, 1978, in Bangalore, India, as Dheeraj Kapoor alias Dheiraj Kapoor alias Dhirajj Vinodd Kapoor. I'm an Actor, Model, Director, and Producer, as well as a Board Advisor, Consultant, and Brand Marketer.
I attended schools such as Sophia High School, Sindhi High School, St. Fatima High School, and St. Stracey Memorial High School, where I interacted with individuals from many cultural backgrounds. This was crucial in developing my thinking as a child to see reality from a much larger viewpoint, a more contemporary perspective, and so establishing a futuristic vision. Growing up in a city like Bangalore, which is culturally oriented and caters to a global clientele, allowed me to be exposed to art, culture, architecture, and theatre. I've always enjoyed competing in dramatics, acting, fancy dress, and dancing competitions since I was a child. As a result, I developed a strong interest in the world of film. I enjoy studying new languages, and as a result, I am a linguist who is fluent in several languages, including English, Hindi, Punjabi, Kannada, Tamil, and Urdu. I competed in nearly every sport as a kid and won numerous awards and prizes in intra and inter-school contests. Being the Vice Captain of the Karnataka State Basketball Team and the House Captain in my 10th grade was the turning point in my scholastic career.
I began my career as a model in 1995, working on projects such as the Honda Activa TV commercial, Byford t-shirt campaign, Gurukul campaign, BPL net.com campaign,IBM PCs campaigns and Raymond campaign etc. I've also appeared in four English plays with internationally known theatrical personality Mahesh Dattani, as well as a Hindi play while attending the National School of Drama's summer programme.
I left my family's well-established retail business in my early twenties to pursue my passion and interest in movies and the entertainment industry. It was here that I first felt a sliver of my entrepreneurial spirit, which pushed me to create my own business 'LIMELIGHT SHOOT EVENT CELEB TALENT MANAGEMENT PVT LTD' with my close friend Mahesh Kishen in the millennium year. We succeeded and started developing from strength to strength in less than three years under mine and my partner's guidance, acquiring significant notoriety in the sphere of advertising and entertainment. In 2005, I took the next big step by relocating to Mumbai, the city of dreams, in order to go further and realise my cinematic dreams by allowing me to establish myself as a nationally and globally award-winning producer.
Globalisation has always piqued my interest, so i relocated to Los Angeles in 2014 to learn more about the future of work in the dynamic digitised world, focusing on content production and the aggregation of creative minds.
With the commitment to perform differentiated projects, I returned to India to establish a new base outside of Los Angeles. With the introduction of my new company, I have taken my entrepreneurial talents and turned them into a bridge between east and west. 'DHIRAJ WALKS OF ART PVT LTD'
Today, I am using my entrepreneurial abilities to launch a number of new businesses in a variety of industries, including arts, culture, entertainment, real estate, import export, aviation, NFT's and venture capital funds.
Advisory boards are being appointed by an increasing number of organisations.
There are numerous compelling reasons for a business to do so. It could be to ensure that it obtains professional advise on emerging technology or scientific developments, or to gain knowledge about how to do business in a variety of global marketplaces.
The decision to bring in an outsider like me into a business can be a difficult one for many entrepreneurs. Some people just do not want to lose control of their company by forming a board of directors with formal responsibilities and authority. The establishment of an advisory board, on the other hand, can assist some in coming to terms with this decision by allowing an entrepreneur to feel at ease with the process of offering information to, and accepting advise from, a third party. Advisory boards provide safe harbours for leaders who may be able to test-drive possibilities before being compelled to be more clear and forceful in preparation for a presentation, pitch, sell out or buy out, or other event that evaluates the CEO and determines his or her remuneration. In certain deal arrangements, advisory boards may be necessary as a practical issue. Advisory boards are commonly utilised to fill in the gaps.
With over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and businessman in the fields of Arts, Culture, Entertainment, Media, Technology, Real Estate, Venture Capital Funding, and Traditional Business, I will be a valuable asset to your Start-up or Company as an advisory board member, assisting and advising on how to sell its products and services to customers such as B2B and B2C, as well as providing counsel on public relations and reputation management. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated time and time again that advisors like myself can play an increasingly important role in supporting businesses as they navigate this age of economic instability, regulatory change, and fierce global competitiveness.
Since the onset of 2020, I have assumed the role of a Board Advisor for the esteemed "HOPE B~Lit Foundation." Within this capacity, I passionately contribute to the realization of their noble vision through the "A Voices Unheard Films" initiative, which ardently champions social awareness shorts and features. This engagement with their dedicated team in the pursuit of global humanitarian endeavors, particularly aimed at enhancing the lives of women and children, has bestowed upon me a profoundly enlightening experience.
In commemoration of the inaugural anniversary of the United Nations' endorsement of the #InternationalDayofConscience, a day dedicated to fostering self-reflection for personal and communal betterment, I am deeply honored and privileged to have been selected as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations initiative known as "The International Day of Conscience." @UnitedNations @ICDay2020
Since 2021, I have had the privilege of serving as a Goodwill Ambassador for the "JOSEPH RUFINO CORDEIRO FOUNDATION," a prominent London-based charity whose founders have roots in Goa, India. Accepting this esteemed and significant role is both a privilege and an honor. I am committed to contributing my utmost to support the advancement of our fellow Indians on the global stage by providing thoughtful insights and proposals.

Motivational speakers have one of the happiest jobs in the world. In terms of job satisfaction, they fall into the 99th percentile. This result is both predictable and positive. Motivational speakers frequently discuss ways to be successful, happy, and engaged in better relationships. They must be pleased if they are fulfilling their motivation to bring happiness to others.
I provide talks as a motivational speaker, also known as an inspirational speaker, with the purpose of encouraging or inspiring the audience. With my extensive professional and personal life experiences, I have earned a reputation as an authority on the subject i have attained over the years, and I will encourage the audience to think about things differently and to be more conscious of their own strengths and abilities by sharing my expertise.
As a motivational speaker my ultimate purpose is to fundamentally affect people on an emotional and/or mental level, as well as to assist them in making some form of professional or personal change in their lives and within themselves. People have a natural tendency to focus on their problems, but as a motivational speaker i use a variety of persuasive speech strategies to inspire and urge an audience to focus on the many opportunities instead.
These are some of the various areas of expertise in which I may inspire and speak:

I was drawn to directing from an early age, and shortly after finishing school, I directed two theatre plays, which I must say was a soul-satisfying experience. I planned to follow my dream of being a director, but fate had other plans for me, and I ended up working in other sectors of the entertainment industry. As a result of my experience as a producer, I've had the opportunity to work with a number of talented directors in the fields of advertising, film, and entertainment. This is the most creative high I desire, since I have always admired a director's job, in which he pulls together a creative idea entirely on his own shoulders and produces a master class performance for all to see. As a result, I am currently undergoing filmmaking training and would like to direct numerous films in the near future.
