The Person Behind It

Niharika - Facilitator and Storyteller

About Niharika

7 yrs facilitation7 yrs live performanceGoldman Sachs · AirdevBased in Hong Kong

I truly believe the shortest distance between two people is a story. Over the last 7 years, I have performed on stages around the world, sharing hundreds of little anecdotes from my life to entertain live audiences. It feels amazing when the rooms laughs or sighs as a single unit. It feels even more amazing when someone says 'that happened to me too!'

I run Hong Kong Stories, a non-profit organisation to help Hong Kongers tell their stories and find a new way to connect with each other. Before this, I spent 10 years in professional roles at Goldman Sachs and Airdev. I experienced the value of sharing stories to find my voice, understand different pespectives, and collaborate effectively.

I started Backstory in 2024 to apply storytelling to business contexts, focusing on finding stories archived in our experiences to build genuine connections.

I am keen to work with teams to explore how storytelling can benefit them.
