About Mihir

A Trainer Who Has Seen What Untrained Teams Cost Companies

Mihir Koltharkar is a globally award-winning Trainer, TEDx and Keynote Speaker, and Author, with over 26 years of experience across Sales, Negotiation, Key Account Management, and Leadership Development.

People and media call him "Mr. Sales" and "The Smiling Buddha of Sales" — for his deep wisdom, warm authority, and ability to make complex sales and negotiation concepts instantly applicable in the real world.

He is featured among the Top 20 Global Trainers in Sales — a list that includes Brian Tracy, Jordan Belfort, and Victor Antonio — and was awarded Pride of India — Negotiation Skills Training. He has delivered 2,500+ sessions across India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kenya, Bangladesh, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Mauritius, the Philippines, and Nepal.

His programmes are not motivational talks. They are structured, scientific, measurably effective interventions — built on Adult Learning Principles, Accelerated Learning, and NLP. The results are documented: a $215M deal closed in 7 days, an 85% conversion improvement at Safaricom Kenya, and over ₹4,500 crore in documented client revenue.

Mihir is based between India and the Philippines and travels globally for corporate assignments.

"Sales without structure is gambling. Negotiation without strategy is surrender. I fix both."
