Frustrated corporate engineer to a master of the stage. Ankur Nigam on why Storytelling is Your Ultimate Currency.

The Business of Laughs! Today I sit down with Ankur Nigam a Stand-up & Improv Comedian and Storytelling Coach dedicated to helping teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and a bit of humor. Ankur shares his incredible journey of leaving a stable consulting career to chase the spotlight, the brutal reality of his first on-stage failure, and how a life-altering open-heart surgery at age 35 completely shifted his perspective on legacy and living in the moment. He talks about adapting to the digital age, dealing with hecklers, and the unique comedy ecosystems of Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, why Delhi audiences are ruthless, taking risks, AI in comedy and the AI slop button on Linkedin, future goals, creative discipline and some Confucius chat!
