- Speaking
On Stage.
On Strategy.
On Record.
Where healthcare compliance meets growth strategy, on stage, in practice, and in business.
Dr. Gireesh Likhyani speaks to audiences of clinicians, hospital CEOs, pharmaceutical brand leaders, and founders who want to understand how marketing, compliance, and growth actually connect inside the healthcare industry. Every talk is built around one principle: the audience should leave with something they can use before the week is out.

Talk Topics
Three Conversations Worth
Putting on Your Stage
Each talk is built around a specific problem that healthcare businesses and their leadership face right now. The content is updated to reflect the current marketing and regulatory landscape, not a version of the industry from five years ago.
Signature Talk
Digital Marketing in Healthcare: What Works, What Costs You, and Why Most Agencies Get It Wrong
Healthcare businesses across India and Southeast Asia are spending marketing budgets on strategies built for restaurants and e-commerce brands. This talk breaks down what digital marketing actually looks like when compliance, patient psychology, and trust are non-negotiable, and what the data says about what drives real patient acquisition versus vanity metrics.
- Why the communication gap between clinicians and agencies costs practices real revenue
- What ASCI, NMC, and HIPAA compliance means for your marketing decisions
- The metrics that actually matter versus the ones agencies use to look busy
Business Strategy
The Business Model Canvas Applied: What Netflix, Uber, and Your Clinic Have in Common
Built for founders, managing directors, and entrepreneurs who want to think differently about how their business model is structured. This talk breaks down the Business Model Canvas using strategies from companies like Netflix and Uber and applies the same thinking directly to healthcare and pharmaceutical businesses. The goal is to help leaders see where their growth is constrained and how to redesign around it.
Future of Healthcare
AI, Advertising, and the New Rules of Healthcare Marketing in Asia-Pacific
Google AI Overviews are changing how patients find clinics. Advertising regulations across India, Singapore, Australia, and the broader Asia-Pacific region are tightening. At the same time, automation is making it possible for even a solo practitioner to compete with hospital marketing budgets. This talk covers what is changing, what it means for your organisation, and what to do about it before your competitors do.
Who I Am
Direct. Precise.
No Filler.
Every talk runs on a system built around clarity. One idea per slide. Maximum two lines of text. The audience is never reading off a screen while trying to listen. They are listening, and the slide reinforces the point rather than replacing the speaker.
The structure mirrors how decisions actually get made in a boardroom or a clinic. The problem is named first, without softening it. The data or the case is presented next, without padding. The implication is stated directly. The audience walks away knowing exactly what to do with the information.
The talks are written for two audiences at once: the clinician who has spent twenty years in a chair and wants to know how to run a better business, and the CEO or managing director of a hospital group or pharmaceutical brand who has never spent a day in clinical practice but needs to understand how patients make decisions about healthcare. Both leave with something that applies directly to their context.
Sessions are available in English. Q and A is built into every engagement and typically runs beyond the allocated time because the conversations that follow the talk are where the real value tends to surface.

Available Formats
How the Engagement
Can Be Structured
Each format is designed around a different kind of audience need. The right format depends on your event structure, audience size, and what you want them to walk away with.
Keynote
A single, focused talk delivered to your full audience. Built around one core idea with a clear structure, real data, and a direct call to action for the audience at the end.
40 to 60 Minutes
Panel Discussion
A moderated conversation with other speakers or industry leaders. Best for events that want to create a dialogue rather than a lecture, and where the audience benefits from hearing multiple perspectives.
Workshop
A working session where participants apply frameworks and strategies directly to their own business or practice. Smaller groups, hands-on, and designed to produce outputs rather than just insights.
Webinar
A fully online session via Zoom or a similar platform, available to audiences across India, Southeast Asia, and internationally. The same content quality and Q and A structure as an in-person engagement.
