In their words
Loved by the people who book him
From organisers, L&D leaders and teams around the world.
Thank you Umair Jaliawala and the Torque team for your hard work and passion for this project. Here's to bringing our dream of Meal for Every Table to life!
He's the gentleman who knows exactly how to bring people on board.
A rare combination of substance and stage presence. Our people are still talking about it months later.
Umair has a gift for making complex change feel personal and achievable. BankIslami's teams left energised, not just entertained.
Practical, energetic and genuinely useful — Umair's session gave our agri business team real tools, not just motivation.

The books
Two books on the way
The Force · Umair Jaliawala
Book one
Coming soonThe Force
Get out of the way, and let God play through you
Umair's first book draws on two decades of personal development work — on stages, in training rooms and in his own life — and the lesson underneath all of it: we are at our best when we stop forcing, get out of our own way, and let God work through us.
- Personal development, from the inside out
- Surrender as strength: getting out of your own way
- Recognising the Force that works through us
From Zero · Umair Jaliawala
Book two
Coming soonFrom Zero
Start with what you have
Umair's second book is about beginning before you feel ready — building ventures, communities and a zero-waste farm from almost nothing, and what starting from zero teaches about courage, patience and faith.
- The courage to begin with what you have
- Lessons from building ventures and a farm from zero
- Growth that is slow, rooted and real
