Bio
Damian Bramley
I am writing to highly endorse and recommend Niri Patel as an innovative and inspirational speaker, and genuinely nice guy. Having known Niri for several years everything he says is insightful, well considered, and highly informative. He is a natural thought provoking mentor to the business community with a genuine willingness to help others. When he speaks everyone listens. He is engaging and confident in his manner, never falters in his presentations and the audience take in what he says. He is a true inspirational entrepreneur, and I highly respect him as a person.

Niri is one of the best communicators I know - everything he says is well considered, well thought out, and highly impactful. I've lost count of the number of times Niri has said something in a group discussion, and everyone there stops for a moment and asks him to repeat what he just said so that they can write it down! Niri is also someone that embodies Givers Gain in a way that others can only aspire to. A recent example was at the BNI UK/Ireland Conference this year, when I asked Niri if he'd be prepared to compere the whole event: at a 2 day conference with in excess of 350 attendees, this was a major undertaking. Niri did a wonderful job - keeping the conference flowing at a good pace, providing both energy and gravitas when required. Niri comes highly recommended.

BNI Yorkshire Executive Director. Helped businesses to grow and get quality referral business. Networking is nice, but referrals are better. We got results for our members.I feel proud of my contribution to the organisation, with many firsts…. BNI Yorkshire hosted the first video conference for Dr Ivan Misner in the organisation’s history in 2001, long before Zoom was even a thing! We were the first region to arrange inter-region member conferences with world class external speakers including Allan Pease, Andy Bounds and Penny Power. And we were the first region outside London and the South East to have a chapter over 40, and India was the first country ever to have an average chapter size over 40! One of my proudest achievements is establishing BNI in India between 2003 and 2015 as a beacon of excellence for the organisation and the lives it continues to positively impact there. I’d like to think that I have contributed at least as much as I have gained in serving the organisation and its members.

Built BNI's most successful territory in the world- India. I am an Executive Director of 4 BNI franchise regions in the UK & in November 2003 took the visionary step of securing the BNI India franchise. My dream is to help Indian businesses to become a force for good on the world stage. Today BNI India is literally helping to change and influence the way the world does business. BNI India is becoming a blueprint for excellence across the globe and will continue to do as as we set up across 100 locations in India.Niri funds the education of 30 slum children in India where they learn English and have access to free medical and dental care and a daily healthy meal. He is also patron of www.poliochildren.org which supports children affected by polio to help them become independent and self-sufficient to the extent that they can make a positive contribution to society! His vision is to raise 7Crores (GBP £ 1m) per year towards funding the welfare of slum children so they have the promise of a better tomorrow.

This was an awesome place to start my working life with some incredibly talented people. I learnt loads here and it helped me to decide to always work for myself and not in a job- which I now do very successfully, having helped over 140 people to become millionaires since 2001.
