To find our voice!
What do we do?
Speak, stumble, smile, and speak again!
Who are we?
mythrivehood!
A law student rehearsing a viva. A freelancer learning to say her fee without apologising. A founder practising a two-minute pitch. A new manager running his first stand-up.
Twenty people, one room, every Sunday. You get better fastest when you practise in front of people who are not like you.
Two hours on a Sunday morning.
On Google Meet, 10 AM to 12 noon IST. Every week thirteen people take a role, so nobody just watches for long.

A note from the founder
I'll run the first three Sundays myself. After that, I appoint a small chapter team, a Chapter Head, a Room Keeper and a Care Lead, from the people who showed up for each other. They run the room each week, and I stay with every chapter.
No elections, no committees. Just people who care, running a room that feels like family.

Questions people ask
What is mythrivehood?+
mythrivehood is a public speaking and growth circle made for Indians, by an Indian, and open to everyone. In a friendly, supportive environment, members build confidence, communication and leadership skills at their own pace. Meetings are online every Sunday from 10 AM to 12 noon IST, in small chapters of up to 20 people.
Is there a free public speaking club online in India?+
Yes. At mythrivehood you can visit as a guest for free, and your first 8 Sundays as a member are free. After that it is ₹350 a year for students and ₹1,000 a year for everyone else, far less than international clubs. You can take a break anytime and come back whenever you like.
How is mythrivehood different from international speaking clubs?+
You get the same proven experience: regular meetings, prepared and impromptu speaking, supportive evaluations, meeting roles that build leadership, and a step-by-step learning path. The difference is that mythrivehood is an Indian organisation built around Indian learners and situations, and membership costs a fraction of international dues, with free guest visits and a fully online format.
How do I improve my communication skills and stage fear?+
Speak out loud every week in front of real people and get specific feedback. A mythrivehood Sunday starts with a 10-minute voice and breathing warm-up, then prepared speeches, impromptu Thrive Talk answers and feedback in the form of one strength, one fix and one thing to try next. Small weekly practice in a kind room is what moves stage fear.
Can I practise interview and placement speaking here?+
Yes. The Rise track is built for students (self-introductions, group discussions, vivas, STAR interview answers) and the Lead track for young professionals (standups, manager 1:1s, speaking up in meetings). Thrive Talk gives you surprise questions to answer in 1 to 2 minutes, just like an interview.
Is it good for networking?+
Every Sunday ends with Connect: breakout pairs that mix students with freelancers, founders and professionals. Each member also gets a 1:1 practice buddy and a mentor, so you build real relationships, not just contacts.
What are the 7 tracks?+
Everyone starts in Roots (camera comfort, breathing, clear points, pauses instead of fillers). Then you pick Rise (students), Argue (law and debate), Pitch (founders), Client (freelancers), Lead (young professionals) or Stage (creators and speakers). Each track has 12 short projects.
Will I build leadership skills too?+
Yes. Every week members take meeting roles such as Meeting Lead, Evaluator, Timer and Thrive Talk Host. Running parts of a meeting, giving feedback and later joining the chapter team are how members practise leadership in a safe, encouraging room.
Who runs mythrivehood?+
mythrivehood is headquartered in Karur, Tamil Nadu, and was founded by Roshan R. Sivakumar. It is MY THRIVEHOOD, a registered unit of Novaa Nest (Udyam UDYAM-TN-10-0054178). Each chapter is run by a small team the founder appoints: a Chapter Head, a Room Keeper and a Care Lead.
Come as a guest this Sunday.
Watch, or say a few lines if you feel like it. If you like the room, stay for the free eight weeks. Twenty seats in the first chapter.
