Rohit Bhargava is is on a mission to inspire more non-obvious thinking in the world. He is an innovation and marketing expert, skilled facilitator, and keynote speaker. After a successful 15 year career as a brand and marketing strategist at two of the largest agencies in the world (Ogilvy and Leo Burnett), Rohit became an entrepreneur and has since started three companies. He is the 3-time Wall Street Journal best selling author of eight books on topics as wide ranging as the future of business, building a brand with personality and how to create a more diverse and inclusive world and has delivered sold out keynote presentations and workshops to business leaders in 32 countries. His signature book Non-Obvious is updated annually with 15 new trend predictions, has been read and shared by more than 1 million readers and is translated in twelve languages. Rohit has been invited to share his insights at some of the most forward-looking organizations in the world including Intel, NASA, Disney, JP Morgan Chase, LinkedIn, Microsoft, American Express, BP, the World Bank, Coca-Cola and hundreds of others.
Outside of his consulting work, Rohit also teaches his popular signature course on storytelling and marketing at Georgetown University in
Washington DC and has been invited to deliver guest lectures at many other prestigious schools including Stanford and Wharton. For the
past 17 years Rohit has also been writing blog and newsletter which has been featured in global media, been honored in the Webby Awards
and named one of the top 25 marketing blogs in the world by AdAge magazine. He is regularly interviewed and featured as an expert
commentator in global media including Harvard Business Review, The Guardian, and NPR. Rohit also writes a monthly column for GQ
magazine in Brazil on technology and trends.
Thanks to his many years of sharing insights, Rohit has been recognized alongside visionary business leaders like Sir Richard Branson and
Tom Peters as a “Top 100 Thought Leader In Trustworthy Business Behavior” and was named by global recruiting firm Korn Ferry as one of
the “Most Influential South Asians In Media and Entertainment.” On a personal level, Rohit is married and lives with his wife and two boys
in the Washington DC area. He is a lifelong fan of anything having to do with the Olympics (he’s been to five so far and is really looking
forward to Paris 2024!) and actively avoids anything having to do with cauliflower (yuck!). Outside of work, Rohit believes that the most
entertaining and impactful job he will ever have is being a great dad and teaching his sons to be kind when no one expects it, curious about
the things others take for granted, and confident enough to change the world.
