From Silence to Speakbro: How Jeeva is Helping India’s Professionals Find Their Voice

Breaking the Silence

For many, the English language is a skill. For Jeeva, it was once a barrier that symbolized everything he wasn’t supposed to achieve. Raised in the quiet village of Kottaiyur, Tamilnadu -630702, where fluent English speakers were few and far between, Jeeva didn’t just struggle with a second language—he battled the belief that his voice didn’t matter.

“I was even mocked for the way I spoke my own language, Tamil,” he recalls. “That made me believe I should never choose a career where my voice would matter.”

And yet, it’s that very voice—and the journey to reclaim it—that would one day inspire the birth of Speakbro, a rapidly growing edtech startup that's already transforming communication for thousands across India.

The Spark Behind Speakbro

The turning point came when Jeeva entered the corporate world and saw a common thread among many professionals: brilliant, hardworking individuals stagnating in their careers—not for lack of talent, but due to their inability to communicate confidently in English.

“To enter the corporate world, basic technical skills might be enough,” he says. “But to grow, lead, and move up—communication is non-negotiable.”

This realization fueled the vision for Speakbro—not just a platform to teach English, but a movement to help professionals speak up, stand out, and succeed.

Solving the Real Problem: Beyond Grammar

Unlike traditional English courses that rely heavily on rote learning, Speakbro takes a radically different approach. The startup offers a comprehensive suite of live and recorded programs that combine grammar training with real-time speaking practice, professional communication drills, and AI-powered feedback.

“Most platforms stop at grammar and vocabulary,” Jeeva explains. “We go further by simulating real corporate scenarios—meetings, client calls, presentations—so learners can actually live the language, not just learn it.”

The results? Over 1,000 paid learners and counting. Many now leave video testimonials sharing their growth stories—how they went from silent contributors to confident communicators in their workplace.

Cracking the Code: Challenges That Built Character

Building Speakbro wasn’t easy. One of the earliest hurdles was India’s rich language diversity.

“As someone from a Tamil-speaking background, it was hard to initially connect with Hindi, Telugu, or Kannada speakers,” Jeeva shares. But instead of limiting the scope of the platform, he leaned into the challenge—learning parts of these languages himself to better understand and empathize with learners across regions.

Visibility was another uphill battle. “We were doing great work, but no one knew about us,” he says. That changed when the team began sharing real learner transformations, session clips, and behind-the-scenes content on social media. “That built credibility. People could see the difference Speakbro was making.”

Today, many learners discover Speakbro via platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn—and some even go on to become mentors within the community.

A Community, Not Just a Course

One of Speakbro’s biggest differentiators is its sense of belonging. It’s not just a transactional course—it’s a language ecosystem designed for continuous growth.

Learners don’t just log in and learn. They participate in community discussions, attend live speaking clubs, get one-on-one mentorship, and receive feedback that feels personal. And with AI-driven tools now in development, the platform is gearing up to deliver even more personalized and engaging experiences.

“Our mission is to make Speakbro a lifetime learning platform,” Jeeva says. “Language is not a one-time goal—it’s a journey. We want to be there every step of the way.” 

Milestones That Matter

Speakbro’s big breakthrough came when it hit 1,000 paid learners, but the real magic was in the feedback. Testimonials poured in, with learners expressing how they gained the courage to speak up in meetings, lead client calls, or apply for jobs they previously felt unqualified for.

“Those stories validated our approach,” Jeeva shares with pride. The success of Speakbro’s students in securing opportunities at respected firms like TCS, Infosys, Deloitte, and Cognizant has further strengthened the platform’s credibility and reach.

Looking Ahead: Building the Future of Communication

Over the next five years, Jeeva envisions Speakbro evolving into a comprehensive communication platform—a place where learners can master not just English, but other global languages, too.

The plan includes deeper integration of AI tools to assess fluency, track pronunciation, and give instant feedback. But even with all the tech enhancements on the roadmap, one principle remains central: human connection.

“At its core, Speakbro is about people—people who are smart, capable, and full of potential, but just need help finding their voice.” 

Final Words: Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

When asked what he’d tell others thinking of starting their own ventures, Jeeva doesn’t hesitate.

“Start by understanding people. Your startup is not a product—it’s a solution. And solutions come from empathy.”

He also emphasizes consistency. “We didn’t go viral overnight. We showed up—every day, every week—doing the work, listening to our learners, and staying aligned with our mission.”

And it’s that mission that continues to drive Speakbro forward: to ensure no one is held back just because they couldn’t find the right words.
