A friend, philosopher and a guide, my mentor, my guru--Mrs. Dipti Amit Shah. I met her in 2014 when I joined Dipti Shah’s Institute of English, Public Speaking & Self Development.
I just joined their 9 weeks' course, and when I am writing this today, she has been a strong pillar of support for me for more than 9 years now. I must say that my association with her has transformed me in many ways.
I really like their curriculum; it covers all the important aspects of the English language. The classroom sessions and home work, regular follow ups and tests, group activities, reading material and audio-visual--they have adopted all possible ways to make the learning more fun-filled.
The Public Speaking and Self-Development classes are my favourite. They not only help overcome stage fear but also help any individual to open up, to share their thoughts and ideas confidently, and to explore their true potential.
More than anything else, Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir both are passionate about their work. Their positive energy inspires you. They always keep in touch with their past students and support them in any manner possible.
Today I work as an anchor, I host various shows, and I conduct various training programs for colleges, corporate and individuals. All these would have never been possible without doing this course. It not only gave me knowledge but also gave wings to my dreams.
There are very few people who can actually make a difference in your life. Dipti Ma’am, you have been the one for me!

I am a permanent student of Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am. I have attended this life-changing course 3 times in the last 4 years.
Amit Sir is the most influential man in my life, second only to my father. Amit Sir cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. He chiselled my character. With his lectures, Amit Sir emboldened my belief in me and in my most daring dreams.
Dipti Ma'am is so passionate about teaching that you feel her passion while she teaches. She observes every student's weak and strong points, and pushes them to be more sincere and punctual in their work.
If God gives us a choice to attend only one course in a lifetime, I will recommend this course. Sir and Ma'am, I love you and owe you my success.

The time that I have spent at Dipti Shah’s Institute of English has been one of the best times of my life. I have learned a lot more than I enrolled for.
I remember fighting with my parents for joining this institute to improve my English. Today, when my parents look back, they smile and realize that getting me enrolled there was the best thing they had done for me. Not only did I gain power over my language but also gained tremendous amount of confidence in myself.
Then I went to The University of Auckland, New Zealand, for my masters.
It is through Dipti Shah's Institute that I realized that that the true purpose of my life is to serve the society and through Dipti Shah's I joined Yuva Unstoppable. Today I take care of Yuva’s operations nationally. Yuva Unstoppable is aiming to help thousands of municipal school children all over India.
Values that I have learned at Dipti Shah's are still with me and even today when I face a problem in my life and I am about to give up, I recall Diptiben saying, " I will persist until I succeed. I will persist, I will succeed".
Associate Vice-President of Adani Power Limited
After 4 weeks at Dipti Shah's Institute:
I have been studying English at Dipti Shah’s for 29 days now. In a day or two I will complete a month at this Temple of Knowledge. I did not realize how this month passed. But let me admit that this was one of the most productive times I have ever spent. My energy level has gone high due to constant inspiration from you and Amit Sir. I get up at 5:00 am and work up to 11:00 pm. I am able to do so many things in a day, viz. attending classes, working at the office, doing homework, watching news, reading newspaper, reading books, etc.
Last, four Sundays we were watching thought-provoking and intriguing movies. Yesterday was the fifth Sunday and I felt something missing. I wish we could see these kinds of movies every Sunday. This will help make our lazy Sundays vibrant.
I have been observing that my English has started improving in the last few days. People around me have also started noticing the same. My written communication has improved a lot. Being in HR department, I am required to write many long emails and draft various policies for employees, I am witnessing a sea change in all that I write. I have started noticing mistakes in drafts that my subordinates bring to me; this was not the case before. My subordinate told me one day, “Sir, since the day you have started attending classes you are finding out more mistakes in drafts, which is really good.”
At my workplace, I usually prepare many Power Point Presentations for HOD-HR which, in turn, is presented to Chairman of the company. Last week my boss wrote an email to all the HR colleagues (almost 50 employees) saying, “Special thanks to Chirag for preparing this communication. He has brought this process to a level where every month he compiles, edits and presents material to me in such a manner that I have to change very little.” Ma’am, thank you very much for pointing out my mistakes in letters written to you. This is really an excellent practice.
Looking into my increased proficiency in English language, last Saturday I was nominated to be the member of Internal Communication Team, which is usually responsible for communication within the company. I am now one of the members who will read and edit our Internal Magazine Contents, which is circulated to 3,200 employees. I have also done content editing of ‘Adani Value Booklet’ which has turned into a masterpiece in our company. I will show you the copy of the same soon. I am sure this hard work will bring me many more such accolades in the time to come.
Knowledge imparted by Amit Sir is truly mind-blowing; it makes me think deep. Combination of Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am is quite unique, and that is making this journey more enjoyable and memorable.
Associate Director of ABINBEV GCC, Bangalore
I am pleased to share my experience of the English & Public speaking course that I completed in 1999. This course played a pivotal role in enhancing my communication skills and significantly contributed to my professional development.
The curriculum was comprehensive, covering essential aspects of English grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Deepti Ma’am and Amit bhai were highly knowledgeable and dedicated, providing personalized attention and constructive feedback that helped me improve my fluency and confidence in speaking English.
One of the standout features of the course was the interactive learning environment. Through group discussions, presentations, and role-playing exercises, I was able to practice and refine my speaking abilities in real-life scenarios. This practical approach not only improved my language skills but also boosted my confidence in public speaking and professional communication.
The skills I acquired from this course have been invaluable throughout my career. As a Chartered Accountant with 24 years of experience, effective communication is crucial in my roles, especially in service delivery and transformation projects. The foundation in English speaking I gained from this course has enabled me to articulate my ideas clearly, lead teams effectively, and interact with clients and stakeholders with ease.
I highly recommend this English Speaking course to anyone looking to enhance their language skills and boost their professional capabilities. It is an investment that yields lifelong benefits.

Chief Accounts Officer (Finance), BSNL, Gujarat Circle
Respected Amit sir and Dipti Ma’am,
Learning English at Dipti Shah’s is the most memorable experience and opportunity for me. The most I like about the class is the practical teaching method through audio- video, Interactive techniques, time management presentation, motivational lectures and group discussions. I loved writing different types of sentences, essays, and letters to Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir. Sir also taught us how to improve our interpersonal relations, how to represent ourselves at social gatherings, and how to set and achieve goals in life.
After completing Dipti Shah’s, I appeared in GCET examination in June 2012 and got 12th rank in B.K. School of Business Management. Now I’m working at BSNL as well as enjoying my evening executive MBA (Finance) program.
Ma’am and Sir, both of you have given me a great life. The good news is that recently I have been elected as a Vice President of All India BSNL Officers Association of Gujarat Circle.
Ma’am, I really appreciate your dedication and punctuality. And, Sir, I heartily thank you for being my motivational power house and mentor.
At last, I would say only one thing: 13th June, 2011 is the RED LETTER DAY of my Life. What blessings Dipti Ma’am has written on the blackboard of my life can never be erased.
Owner, Protector Fire and Safety, Ahmedabad
At Dipti shah's I have learned English speaking, public speaking and, most valuable, confidence, leadership and compassion. No institute in Gujarat will teach you moral values and life lessons except Dipti shah’s.
After attending this class as a businessman, I can do better correspondence and verbal communication with my clients. I can attend different seminars, conferences without any fear.
As a parent I can help my son with his studies too. It has helped me a lot while travelling out of India.
Amit Sir has showed us many motivational videos and inspirational movies in the class, which have changed my life.
With the blessings and guidance of Amitbhai and Diptiben I have started an NGO. named "Act of Kindness Group", which is now a registered trust and is engaged in a number of social service activities.
IT engineer & entrepreneur
I enrolled in the public speaking and personality development course at Dipti Shah’s Institute of English, Public Speaking & Self-Development (since 1981) after hearing many positive reviews online. I was not disappointed. The course was well-designed, engaging, and practical. It helped me improve my communication skills, confidence, and self-awareness.
The course was taught by Dipti Shah and her husband Amit Shah, who are both experts in their respective fields. Dipti ma'am taught public speaking, and Amit sir taught personality development. They had different teaching styles, but they complemented each other very well.
Dipti ma'am was strict and punctual, but also supportive and encouraging. She taught us the basics of public speaking, such as how to structure a speech, how to use voice modulation, how to overcome stage fear, and how to handle questions and feedback. She also gave us many opportunities to practice our skills in front of the class and gave us constructive criticism.
Amit sir was lenient and funny, but also insightful and inspiring. He taught us the aspects of personality development, such as how to set goals, how to manage time, how to deal with stress, how to build rapport, and how to develop a positive attitude. He also shared many anecdotes and examples from his own life and career, which made the lessons more relatable and interesting.
The course was not only informative, but also enjoyable. I learned a lot from both the instructors and the fellow participants. I made some new friends and networked with some potential collaborators. I also received a certificate of completion at the end of the course, which was a nice bonus.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking and personality development skills. It is worth every penny and every minute. Dipti Shah’s Institute of English, Public Speaking & Self-Development (since 1981) is one of the best institutes in the country, and I am glad I chose it.

We have learned over the years that 'insurance' is a very important part of life. We need an auto insurance to drive a car, a medical insurance to go see a doctor, a home insurance to get covered for natural disasters, and the most important one is Life Insurance. Dipti Shah's Institute of English and Public Speaking is an insurance that insures your career, confidence, and courage.
We, the proud students of Dipti Shah's, are among the few lucky ones who got the opportunity to actually invest in such insurance. Joining Dipti Shah's Institute ten years back was the best decision we ever made for our lives. Dipti Shah's will not only teach you how to speak fluent English but it will also steer you in the right career path that can change your lives forever. We learned that 'doing what you love' is most important.
Being able to express yourself in front of anyone not only requires excellent English Speaking skills but tons of confidence. Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir not only gives motivational speeches but also expose you to lots of assignments that require loads of reading, listening, watching movies and videos, and participating in activities in small groups as well as in front of the entire class. It will be taking one step at a time before giving a final speech in front of a live audience.
Like a cherry on the cake icing, my husband, Jay, and I found each other at Dipti Shah's Institute. So, this place holds a special place in our hearts. Once we learned the importance of this course, we made sure that our family members, friends and relatives also joined the institute.
Just like 'Ferrari' is an expensive car but the best one, and 'Kohinoor' is the costliest and rare diamond, Dipti Shah's institute is the largest, the best and that's why it’s the costliest.
You are paying this fee not to become a student for 10-13 weeks, but you are paying this fee to become a student for lifetime.
LL.B. student & intern at Gujarat High Court
I am currently in 3rd year L.L.B. I joined Dipti Shah’s English & Public Speaking classes in 2019. I had studied in Gujarati medium till 12th standard & so I wasn’t confident or fluent at all in English.
Dipti Shah’s Institute helped me to learn all the English language skills, to clear my concepts and, most importantly, gain self-confidence. It was a dynamic experience which made me highly ambitious & hard-working. In addition, Amit Sir’s lectures helped me with the practical aspects of life & career.
Overall, it was a memorable growing experience. I strongly recommend anyone of any age, at any time of your life, to join the classes. You won’t regret it & you will be well on the way to uncommon success!
Court Master/Assistant Registrar at Gujarat High Court
Dear Dipti Ma’am,
I don’t know how to write and what to write to you. Just a few days back, I knew myself differently. I can notice a remarkable change in my looks, attitude and behaviour. I joined Dipti Shah’s on August 5th (2013). Earlier I used to get up at 7:30 am. But, ma’am hats off to you, you made me rise at 5:15 am daily along with my kids, who also get up at the same time. You taught me how to complete our morning routine in such a stipulated time. This credit also goes to Amit Sir the great, who taught me time management.
Sometimes, I wonder as to what both of you are eating. Your level of energy, moving here and there, taking care of everything in class, paying attention to everyone individually, etc. is amazing. Sometimes, I feel jealous of both of you. When you are teaching in the class, the way the words come out and flow from your mouth—we marvel as to whether we will be able to at least learn half of it. Your expressions, actions, confidence teaches us a lot.
We learnt parts of speech, some tenses, but in between sometimes you shared with us and knowledge of life, your experiences, which we can never learn from anywhere. Your smiling face, untiring efforts and encouragement to those students who are still hiding themselves in class are remarkable.
I have learnt many things till now. Discipline, regularity and punctuality have now become part of my life. I like to refer to and read books as and whenever I get free time. On seeing the books in my hand, my children have also developed the habit of reading. Now I don’t have to tell them to study or read books.
After joining Dipti Shah’s, my way of talking and behaving has changed too. I talk in English with my children and on seeing this, my wife gets confused as she doesn’t understand much English—in my absence if my children ask her something in English she cannot explain.
Joining Dipti Shah’s Institute has entirely changed my attitude at work place, too. I enter my work place full of confidence and enthusiasm. My colleagues are surprised with my way of talking and interacting. Nobody now underestimates me. Everybody tries to find an opportunity to talk with me.
I don’t know what will happen after the completion of nine weeks of our course. These few weeks have brought a tremendous change in my life! Many things are yet left to learn from you, Ma’am. It’s an Ocean of Knowledge. We have now only a few weeks left, so I pray to God, “O God, please stretch these nine weeks till the time Ma’am is available on this earth.” I also pray that God may give Ma’am and Sir a long and healthy life. Amen!
Creative Web/Graphic Designer, London
It has been three years working here in London and indeed a big ‘thank you’ goes to Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am.
My friends, I have realized that there are essentially three things that play a big role in anything that I want to achieve in my life – clarity of my goal, the right method to achieve that goal, and my determination. I found Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir the ‘real gurus’ who not only helped me with improving my English and Public Speaking skills but they also showed me how to convert my dreams into reality with their compassionate and ever-helping nature. And here I am, content with the decision that I made four years ago to join Dipti Shah’s Institute.
I am aware that there are so many classes around and that might confuse you as to which one to go for! However, I bet, you will appreciate at the end that you made the right choice by investing in Dipti Shah's Institute.

Throughout my journey of learning and growth, you have been an incredible guiding light, illuminating my path with your expertise, wisdom, and passion for English and public speaking. Your dedication and commitment to nurturing your students' linguistic and oratory skills have left an indelible mark on my life.
Your ability to create a supportive and engaging learning environment is truly remarkable. Whether it's teaching us the intricacies of grammar, expanding our vocabulary, or helping us become more confident speakers, you have consistently displayed exceptional professionalism and an unwavering belief in our potential.
Under your guidance, I have not only witnessed a significant improvement in my command of the English language, but I have also witnessed my self-assurance soar as a public speaker. Your teaching methods, filled with encouragement, constructive feedback, and innovative techniques, have empowered me to communicate effectively and express myself with clarity and conviction.
On this special occasion of Guru Purnima, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your incredible contributions to my personal and professional development. Your dedication, patience, and unwavering support have made an enormous difference in my life, and I am truly grateful to have you as my English and public speaking teacher.

Dear Amit Sir,
On this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, I wanted to take a moment to appreciate your incredible teaching skills. You truly are a master in the art of self-development, and your mentoring abilities are unmatched. From politics to leadership, you guide us with such finesse that even our GPS can't keep up!

With utmost admiration,
Vaibhav Singhvi.

I am doing my Masters in Journalism. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I applied for a job in some companies including SNL Financial in Vastrapur near Himalaya Mall. After an Entrance test and interview, I was selected as a news writer. SNL is a US based company that provides financial data to many companies of the world. It’s not just the journalism degree that has helped me to get this job: it’s mainly English that helped me. I am grateful to both of you.
Pharmacy Student
Now I find English easier. I have taken admission in Pharmacy. It is completely in English, but I find no difficulty except with some technical words. However, I can remember difficult vocabulary using your memory techniques. Teachers and students are asking me whether I am from English medium.
One more thing! I have seen the famous musical "Fiddler on the Roof" and I have followed each and every word. I was very much surprised and delighted too.
Canada
I would whole-heartedly recommend Dipti Shah's Institute because after joining the institute, I achieved fluency in spoken English and tremendous self-confidence. The institute will help you to develop your communication skills in English and confident personality. However, it's not just an English speaking course; it's like a miracle potion for students who really need proper guidance and motivation to achieve great heights. This institute will definitely provide a new dimension to your career and life, as it has done in my life.
I remembered the historical event of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where due to heavy bombarding so many deaths had occurred. So many innocent people were destroyed. It was a sad event. But here in our classroom also due to heavy bombarding so many deaths have occurred. They were our enemies like shyness, fear, hesitation and the word ‘impossible’. In this institute we learned that everything is possible.
I have fantastic news for you that I have got admission at HL College. I have also registered for CA and ICWA exams. Besides, as I was 2nd in 12th Commerce in Kheda district, I was welcomed by Lions International Club. They gave me a chance to speak before thousands of people. Thank you very much for teaching us public speaking!
London, UK
God gave me a golden gift by sending me to Dipti Shah’s.
Dipti Shah’s is the only institute which is irreplaceable and exceptional in India. Amit Sir is the ocean of the knowledge and impressive motivational Guru. I salute him. He has changed my perception towards my life. Amit Sir’s Motivational speeches and Movies have positively impressed me. Everyday, I am feeling better and better. I also got the right platform over here for doing welfare activities for poor and needy people.
"I am unstoppable." I want to write pages and pages of my experience, but I have to conclude now. If you are not attending this course, then you are missing a lot. If you have a burning desire to do something exceptional in life, then join Dipti Shah’s. I had invested my money in Dipti Shah's and in a very short span, I got many things which are priceless. Pay now and Play forever. Don’t waste your time, Do it now.
Diptiben and Amitbhai lead by example. I have always been inspired by their dedication to work. I had been going to Dipti Shah's Institute in 2007. I can never forget my classes and the way they taught us. Though the class had a good strength, personal attention was always given to each and every student present in the class. Although I had studied in English medium, joining these classes is really a very good step I have taken in life. It has really boosted my confidence and improved my English, personality skills, etc. I learnt various skills which no one is ever taught in school or college. I still remember Amitbhai's sentence- ''Bhantar karta Gantar vadhare mahatva nu che.''
I heartily thank Diptiben and Amitbhai for completely changing my personality and my life.
MS Degree in USA
Is it possible for someone who is one of the last students in class and completed BE with 4 ATKTs to earn an MS degree in the USA and to work for a leading Telecom company there? Yes my friends, if you are Dipti Shah’s student, anything is possible. Dipti Madam’s English language and Amit Sir’s personality development coaching is the deadliest combination. Nothing can stop you from being successful!!
I never imagined I would go this far where I am today. Amit Sir’s lessons poured great confidence in me and taught me how to achieve my goals, while Dipti Madam’s grammar and conversation instruction helped me to be a fluent and confident English speaker. These are not the only results I got. I have been through ups and downs in my personal and professional life and every time those lessons have helped me. What is the best thing that happened in my life? My joining Dipti Shah’s. Love you, Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am.
Friends, don’t even give it a second thought. Just join it and commit yourself for only 3 months. You would go beyond your imagination.
In my opinion, a GURU is a person who guides us on the right path, who believes in us, who cares, loves and supports us, and whose blessings are always showered upon us. I consider myself so lucky that I have got two GURUS at Dipti Shah's Institute. They are none another than Dipti Ma'am and Amit Sir.
When I joined this class in summer 2007, I was not confident in English speaking though I knew good English, and I was unable to speak on the stage. But these two mentors created miracles in my life. The decisions related to investment, marriage, goal setting, higher education and career are taught here. And I got the right direction of my life along with tremendous motivation. Dipti Ma'am's style of teaching--the way she taught us to pronounce words and even to remember them--is just amazing. Simultaneously, Amit Sir's vision and his motivational lectures can change anyone's life.
This institute is a nurturing center where saplings like us can grow into fruitful trees. And even after completion of the course, the trees keep flourishing and spreading out into the world.
There are so many English and personality development classes in Ahmedabad, but Dipti Shah's holds a special place.
I personally thank Amitbhai and Diptiben for teaching me the meaning of hard work and smart work. I am a 1990 batch student and still I connect with them and take Amitbhai’s invaluable advice on different occasions.
Hello Ma’am, today was one of your best classes. I found it very exciting. You taught us creative visualization. It is very true that “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, believe and vividly visualize, it can achieve.” Wow, what a superb sentence! “You told us to say, “I am nature’s greatest miracle. I don’t allow anyone to speak anything negative about me.” You also said, “To be successful, love your work, become expert in it, and help others….” Ma’am, I just can’t say how great today’s lecture on creative visualization was.
Do you like to become a puppet of other people’s opinions? The answer must be ‘no’. Then join Dipti Shah’s Institute of English. It is the fuel in the furnace of achievement. As a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take that first step now.
Sir, I have been working in Gujarat High Court as Private Secretary to the Hon'ble Judge since 2000. Before joining this class, I asked some people (i.e. friends, lawyers, colleagues, etc.) whether I should join Dipti Shah’s Institute. I was wrong because I was asking such a question to persons who were not familiar with this institute. They advised me, “You are working with High Court judges. Why should you join English speaking classes?” Especially they were worried about the high fees of this institute. Thank God that He gave me wisdom to follow my own inner voice. After a span of six weeks, I can confidently say that it is an invaluable investment in me and my future.
I was at Dipti Shah’s Institute in the year 2001 and at the same time I was working with Centre for Environment & Protection Technology (CEPT) as a Network Engineer. At present, I am settled in London (UK) and working in a reputed company as a Sales Manager.
I would like you to know that the Institute has played a major part in my academic career as I was a Gujarati medium student. Dipti Shah’s Institute has helped me tremendously to improve my command over the English language. In addition, In my opinion, this Institute is one of the brightest stars in our galaxy which always guides its students onto the right path.
What I like most about the class is the practical teaching method through audio-video and interactive techniques.
After taking this class, I am more confident and my personal and professional communication is more effective.
Amit Sir, I have no words to describe your passionate teaching. You are a cheerful, respectable, and encouraging motivator. I really appreciate your dedication, patience, and punctuality.
I would strongly recommend this class to anyone who wants to improve their spoken English. In my opinion this is the best of the best places to learn.
At Dipti Shah's Institute, I learned to live life. Most of the people just exist in this world; I was one of them. Dipti Shah's Institute not only teaches English but also values of life--which can’t be described in a few words. It changed my personality completely. After a few weeks, I found a rebirth of Rachayita Thakkar. The most important thing is I never realized when the process of transformation started.
One can feel the result after a few weeks only. I had joined Dipti Shah's Institute in a situation when my mind was very upset and I had started looking at life negatively. It was a miracle after 12 weeks when everyone started observing a positive change in me. Diptiben and Amitbhai are like my parents. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for making me blossom from a bud.
Dipti Shah's has boosted my confidence. The course has certainly enhanced my reading and writing skills. Most importantly, it has encouraged me to continue my voyage in the vast fascinating ocean of English language.
Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am become their students’ friend, philosopher and guide.
When I joined this organization in April 2008, I was totally depressed as I had lost my husband in Oct. 2007. At that time Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am held my hand to take me out of grief. Amit Sir's sessions on positive thinking and acceptance of life played a great role in my life. He taught me how to welcome all kinds of problems, because in his words 'God is giving us problems to make us perfect and confident'. Sir is the person who changed my whole personality, from negative to positive. So, for me the experience at Dipti Shah's was life changing.
After completion of my 10th standard examination, I enrolled myself in Dipti Shah’s Institute of English, Public Speaking & Self-Development in 2003. I will never forget this experience. I have been running my own H.R. Consultancy firm for the last 5 years. I have successfully counselled and trained candidates for personal interviews and selection of a right job/career.
I must thank Dipti Madam as the Institute has taught me business ethics, manners, discipline, punctuality, and positive thinking as well as overcoming obstacles.
This Institute is the best medicine to detoxify my life. Earlier I was a rough stone, but now they have chiseled me bit by bit into a beautiful statue. The hammering was painful but I am not complaining after seeing the finished product. I feel proud of myself.
We all have heard the story of King Midas. He was popularly remembered for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. My experience in this class is just like that Midas touch, which has changed my personality and my English skill in a amazing way. This will help me in my personal growth and career graph.
If you get an idea again and again, then consider it as an SMS sent by God to your heart. Act on it. Unless you begin, how can you win?
Dipti Shah's Institute has become a forever memory of my life, a beautiful journey of English and personality development. After completion of my engineering, I joined Dipti Shah's as I wanted to pursue an MBA. But after starting an MBA, I realized that half of the things I had already learned at Dipti Shah's.
It started with my parents forcing me to attend Dipti Shah’s classes for English, as they wanted to make my English flawless and fluent. Being an English medium student, I was very confident about my English and didn’t want to join.
The way Diptiben teaches is very simple but unique, helping students to understand concepts immediately. Amitbhai has a very charismatic personality. He becomes friends with each and every student, giving personal attention to everyone.
Today I am studying in USA doing Masters, and have become the board member in College Working Committee. I think this has been one of the biggest achievements in my life. Thanks to Dipti Shah’s.
Before joining Dipti Shah’s Institute I was really bad at English. Now, I am getting more confident with my friends and of course in public. I am really enjoying English movies and channel programs. I enjoy talking in English with my teachers in college.
What I want to tell you now is very important. It has changed so many lives as it did ours. We all, Dipti Shah’s students, have joined this class and now we firmly believe that we are one of those chosen ones to achieve whatever we deserve best in our lives.
We have been sitting here for the last twelve weeks. It is an amazing experience to come everyday to this temple of knowledge, wisdom and prayer. Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir are the priests of this temple. I always feel that I am sitting in front of angels of love and learning.
Amit Sir, with his vast, practical real-life experience taught us in depth different topics like money, success in marriage, insurance, stock market, mutual funds, goals, job interview, how to start a small business and the list can go on.… The most important thing he taught us was “Unconditional Love.“
Dipti Ma’am, with her thorough and immaculate knowledge of English, laid a strong foundation for us to overcome our fear of English. I’m very grateful to Ma’am because she really persists until we succeed.
Just a few weeks after joining this institute on Nov. 16, 2009, I got evaluated in my job and got a raise for Rs. 25000/- per month--the exact amount I paid for this class as fee. The date of the raise was 17th January 2010.
As a matter of fact, I assure you with full confidence and honesty that after joining this class you will achieve whatever you deserve and expect, whether it is a successful career, a prestigious degree, a thriving business and social life. You will be rocking on the path of success and accomplishment.
Hats off to Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir!
Respected Amit sir and Dipti Madam,
It was not easy to join Dipti Shah’s Institute due to time
demand and higher fees, but I guess it is not easy for me to
leave Dipti Shah’s Institute after being here for a few weeks. I have
gained so much knowledge here, and become confident and
positive about life!
In 2003, I went to London to pursue my MBA and lived there
for 6 years. I couldn’t find any sir/madam in London or in India
who can motivate and teach students with lots of love and care.
Dipti Madam is so passionate about her English class. It is tough
to manage 100 students in Ahmedabad, but I guess she can
easily manage more than 1,000 students. She concentrates on
each and every student’s progress. Most tutors are after money
but Dipti Madam is after every student's progress.
Amit Sir, you are my guru. I am sad to write this letter to you
because I just cannot leave you. I have not built a great career
yet, but I’ve got confidence that I will do it soon. I have got your
snap on my computer desktop and by looking at it everyday, I
became like a powerhouse. You have changed me in these 11
weeks and I am looking forward to a bright future.
Dipti Madam and Amit Sir, I will miss you both so much.
You are more than my parents and my gurus.
I am Dr. Nidhi Gohil, a dentist.
I studied at Amrit Jyoti School, a very good English medium school in Ahmedabad. So grammar and English were the least in my list of worries. Somehow, my mom wanted more and more fluency, and more and more confidence in me. She insisted, but I was reluctant to join the Institute. She even accompanied me for the entrance examination, in which she got 95% and I got 100%. She convinced me and I dragged my feet into the classroom.
My Adrenaline level shot high when Dipti Ma'am called every student to the stage to introduce themselves. I didn't go on the first day, but on the second day I had to go compulsorily--no options left. And to my surprise, my stage fear was snatched away. Impressed by my speech, Ma’am appointed me her teaching trainee. Wow!
I welcomed the opportunity and started grabbing weak students and gave them what I called "My Homework." And "bichara” students did my work too. This gave me selfless pleasure to teach and a very good teaching experience. Dipti Ma'am has been the best teacher to discover and groom a teacher in me.
We used to write letters to Sir and Ma'am, and eventually, I discovered a passionate writer in me. Believe me, friends, I can write unstoppably (once I wrote a 17-page letter). Amit Sir has been the best motivator, who constantly encouraged me to write out my mind--for the inner satisfaction and happiness.
Amit Sir's lectures taught us the real and basic values of life as well as the vital topics of self- development--time management, how to set goals and achieve them, how to win friends, love, marriage, sales and marketing, and many more.
Dipti Ma'am's lectures taught us good pronunciation, good accent, fluency, vocabulary, perfect grammar, punctuations, creative visualization and much more. All the above topics gave me tremendous self-confidence in both English and public speaking.
Wherever I go, people definitely say "Dr. Nidhi, you are fast and fluent in English." My parents are very proud and they congratulated me in the last week of the course.
After this course, I have crystalized my goals--to pursue my masters in dentistry and to become a professor. Friends, I heartily thank my parents, Sir, Ma'am and Almighty God, to make me join the Institute. At last I would say only one thing, "Walk on the Red Carpet and be a Star."
Do you know why I joined Dipti Shahs Institute of English, Public Speaking and Self- Development? Well, being a homemaker and doing tuitions at home, I wanted to brush up my knowledge along with getting an exposure of the outside world. So out of curiosity I took the online entrance test and I joined this institute on 4th April 2011.
When thousands of grapes are pressed and all the grape skin and pulp are tossed, then only you get a jar filled with wine. I would compare this class to that jar of wine which contains all the ingredients for success.
The main ingredient is discipline and regularity. Staying at home for 18 odd years had taken its toll on me, but being here at Dipti Shah’s for two months I felt like a spider weaving its web endlessly and tirelessly. Here you are busy doing something or the other all the time, like reading, building extra vocabulary, grammar practice, conversation, watching motivational videos and movies, etc. This discipline of doing everything on time has given me tremendous confidence to accomplish my tasks. I would definitely want my friends to get a new lease of life in case they too feel that they are somewhat left behind being laidback.
The next ingredient is courage, which comes through public speaking or thinking and developing your unique ideas. That is why during my stint over here I could rent a class room and now onwards I’m going to work like a professional at Roots an Academy (that is the name of my class), which otherwise I won’t have had the courage to do. Thanks to Amit Sir for guiding me all through.
Now the most intoxicating ingredient is wisdom, wisdom to understand things finely and intricately—relationship, for example. Amit Sir always made it very clear to treat our relations like a business, where U comes before I and things could never go wrong. A beautiful approach to lead a happy life! I actually wonder where else can we get this practical life-enhancing knowledge?
Finally, the ingredient closest to my heart is the concern both Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am have for each student. I remember once we prepared a list of priorities and health came on the top of my agenda. I was amazed how Ma’am was all eager to mentor me. When it came to promote my classes, Sir was always there to guide me. What more anyone can ask for--tell me!
So why would I deprive my friends of all this by not recommending them this jar of wine? Do join this institute because they know how “to turn mirrors into windows.”
Dear Sir,
Sir, I'm Microsoft certified and Cisco certified engineer and having 8 years’ experience in IT (hardware & Networking) field. But my English was not that good. At that time I was working in Zydus Cadila (Changodar) as Senior Systems Administrator on the contract of Allied Digital Services Ltd. It is a big corporate house where everybody speaks English very well and I could not reply them in English. I didn't like this, so I decided to join Dipti Shah’s Institute of English, Public Speaking and Self-Development.
In June 2012, I passed my entrance exam and paid fees at Dipti Shah's Institute. I requested my IT manager to allow me to come late to the office because I had to remain present in class till 10 am. I was a senior engineer, so he didn't give me permission to come late. I informed my father about this and he replied, “Don't worry about it. If they don’t give you permission, then resign. I'll support you.” So I resigned from my job and joined our institute.
I successfully completed our course with 100% attendance. My English is very much improved now. Recently, I have got an interview call from SNL Finance (India) Pvt Ltd. It is a US-based company. They are hiring experienced IT professionals with good communication skills in English. I passed my first technical round there and was shortlisted. My second round was with an American gentleman. I gave my interview through video conferencing. It took half an hour and was conducted totally in English.
I studied Amit Shah's Reference Material and used all your interview tips. They were very much impressed. Today 18th October is my birthday and while I am typing this mail, the offer letter is in front of me. My family is very much happy today. It is like magic.
Sir and ma’am, it is your blessings which work for me. Many many thanks for your great support!
Regards,
Kushal Joshi
“Every day in every way, I am getting better and better and better”
I am overflowing with confidence, positivity and much more. How have all these happened? Yes, friends! That is my today’s topic, “How I met the best teachers of my life – Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir.”
I am Nikul Parghi, BE Mechanical, working as a Design Engineer in the Japanese firm Hitachi.
It was 16th January 2012; I was sitting idle, unhappy and guilty, as I was experiencing a challenging result in one of my competitive exams-CAT. Suddenly a thought came to my mind--let’s give it a second chance; let’s improve on all my weaknesses; and let’s start with English first!
Dipti Shah’s Institute was always the one I wanted to attend. On that very day I searched on the internet and I found a very beautiful website. I found many videos of past students, and then I started collecting all possible information about Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir.
I found Amit Sir’s profile outstandingly impressive! His IIT degree of B Tech, former Executive Director of MNC like Inductotherm, his desi Guajarati in the video and more! I was impressed! I call it awesomely awesome!
Immediately, I decided to join the class. On 22nd Jan 2012, I came to the class to pay my fees and guess what? I was pleasantly surprised to see the way they have arranged everything--a beautiful logo, lively atmosphere, and a classroom like a theatre hall! I was impressed again.
On 30th Jan 2012, I started my journey at Dipti Shah’s. I found answers here of all my questions, from even my subconscious mind!
Dipti Ma’am taught us English like we teach anything to a 5-year-old baby! I gained confidence!
And what can I say about Amit Sir, apart from “DADA”? He took everything from me--starting with Rs. 22,500, my fear of speaking in English, my fear of starting a business, and finally my fear of living life! He taught us to live our dreams and not our fears.
I cannot believe myself, I am totally a different person now! I believe in myself like never before; I enjoy myself like never before; and I love myself and the universe like never before!
My mom-dad, my fiancée Priyanka, my friends were happy with me even before these two months. But now they are extremely happy.
Ma’am and Sir, you are best! Thank you so much for everything. Life is really more wonderful after meeting you both, and GOD is great! Thank you.
Nikul Parghi, BE Mech, Design Engineer
Dear Amit Sir,
I can't find words to start this email, because there is no specific purpose of this email.
I was your student in Morning batch, Apr-Jul 1997, student number E65.
July 28, 1997 was my second birthday, when I got your certificate. I have learnt so many things from you, like positive attitude, focus on results, achievements, goal setting, make friends, communication ... well it is an endless list. These are all parts of our daily life. They are everywhere around us. Everyday, every moment.
We face new situations many times during our lifetime, like our exams, our first salary, first interview, meeting a client for the first time, meeting an old friend suddenly, first date with our dream girl, child birth, becoming a parent, buying house ... and so on, once again an endless list. I have also faced so many new situations, so many happy moments, as well as sad moments. But all the time, to face any situation, I always found a lesson helpful which I have learnt from you in 1997.
Experience is the best teacher, no doubt. But you taught me how to learn, and since then, I have never stopped learning.
You taught me that language is necessary, but more important is to learn how to communicate.
I was a science student, and failed in class 12 two times. But the table is turned completely after 1998. Currently I am in London, taking my final exam of ACCA (Chartered Accountancy, UK). Yes, I am becoming a Chartered Accountant in the UK, and will become member of ACCA, which means I will be recognised in more than 60 countries soon. I consider this as my first achievement.
All in all, I am very happy and satisfied with my life, because I have a goal in my life and I am moving towards it.
A 'Guru' is the person who guides you once, and we follow him throughout our lifetime.
You are my 'Guru'. Thanks very much for all the knowledge you gave me in my early age.
It will be my pleasure if I can do anything for you in my lifetime.
I cannot express my feelings for you in words.
I am Anil Dobaria. I am a manager in a private limited company. I had given an exam and an interview for promotion but had failed in the same. So I gave up hope of getting a promotion as a state manager in my company.
Thereafter, I heard about Dipti Shah’s Institute of English and Public Speaking. I visited the Institute and found a ray of hope in my heart. I took the decision to join Dipti Shah’s Institute on 2nd April 2012.
It was really a life changing decision which I had taken. After attending Dipti Shah’s classes, I passed the exam and interview for my promotion. I got it in July 2012. Now I am working as a state manger in my company and my salary has been raised from Rs. 23,000 to Rs. 72,000, nearly triple!
Really thanks to Dipti Madam and Amit Sir for giving me good English skills and knowledge for success in my life.
I strongly recommend Dipti Shah’s Institute to all my friends and relatives for their better future.
Dear Friends,
I'm Poojan Shah. I'm pursuing PGDIFA (Post Graduation Diploma in Investment and Finance Analysis) while doing my business of Chemical Manufacturer and Exporter.
Now I'm going to tell you my success story after joining Dipti Shah's Institute of English, Public Speaking & Self-Development.
Friends, before joining Dipti Shah's Institute, I had business only in Dubai, and that too only because of my partner who is living over there. All the international business was conducted by my partner, as I did not know how to communicate in international market or even how to bargain.
Afterwards, I realized that I should also learn these things. I was sharing this problem with one of my friends who was the past student of Dipti Shah’s Institute. He encouraged me and I decided to join after seeing his phenomenal command over English language.
Friends, in Dipti Shah's institute I learnt all those things which I was hungry for. Dipti Ma'am taught us how to get powerful command over English language and Amit Sir taught all the practical skills which are required in any kind of business.
Today I'm doing business in many countries, like China, and several countries from Africa, Europe and Middle East.
In short, friends, giving fees in Dipti Shah's institute is INVESTING your money, which will give you compound interest for a lifetime. Invest in yourself!
Hi friends,
The biggest obstacle in learning English is fear. I joined Dipti Shah's because I had a terrible stage fear. I could not even hold a mike in my hand while standing on a stage. Here at Dipti Shah's, I gradually got rid of this fear and became confident.
Dipti Ma'am's innovative techniques of teaching made learning English an exciting process. The vast experience and knowledge of Dipti Ma'am not only in English but also in human psychology made me a damn good student of English grammar.
Amit Sir built a great confidence in me and inspired me to read various great novels, speak on the stage fluently without fear, and watch English movies and inspirational videos.
After I completed Dipti Shah's course, in my last semester in engineering, many multinational companies visited our university (Dharmsinh Desai University, Nadiad) for campus recruitment. I gave an interview in the first company that came to our college. I was so confident during my interview that I got selected in the first interview itself and was offered a damn good salary package. The only reason behind this success was interview techniques and time management techniques taught by Amit Sir.
Amit sir and Dipti ma'am have reignited human values like love, care and kindness inside me.
I can never repay what Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am have done for me. I am still in touch with Amit Sir via email. He always solves my queries regarding any questions I ask from any field in emails. I have become free of fears and negativity in my life. I can say I have become a nuclear reactor of positive power.
I am thankful to God to send Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am in my life.
After 4 weeks at Dipti Shah's Institute
I have been studying English at Dipti Shah’s for 29 days now. In a day or two I will complete a month at this Temple of Knowledge. I did not realise how this month passed. But let me admit that this was one of the most productive times I have ever spent. My energy level has gone high due to constant inspiration from you and Amit Sir. I get up at 5:00 am and work up to 11:00 pm. I am able to do so many things in a day, viz. attending classes, working at the office, doing homework, watching news, reading newspaper, reading books, etc.
Last, four Sundays we were watching thought-provoking and intriguing movies. Yesterday was the fifth Sunday and I felt something missing. I wish we could see these kinds of movies every Sunday. This will help make our lazy Sundays vibrant.
I have been observing that my English has started improving in the last few days. People around me have also started noticing the same. My written communication has improved a lot. Being in HR department, I am required to write many long emails and draft various policies for employees, I am witnessing a sea change in all that I write. I have started noticing mistakes in drafts that my subordinates bring to me; this was not the case before. My subordinate told me one day, “Sir, since the day you have started attending classes you are finding out more mistakes in drafts, which is really good.”
At my workplace, I usually prepare many Power Point Presentations for HOD-HR which, in turn, is presented to Chairman of the company. Last week my boss wrote an email to all the HR colleagues (almost 50 employees) saying, “Special thanks to Chirag for preparing this communication. He has brought this process to a level where every month he compiles, edits and presents material to me in such a manner that I have to change very little.” Ma’am, thank you very much for pointing out my mistakes in letters written to you. This is really an excellent practice.
Looking into my increased proficiency in English language, last Saturday I was nominated to be the member of Internal Communication Team, which is usually responsible for communication within the company. I am now one of the members who will read and edit our Internal Magazine Contents, which is circulated to 3,200 employees. I have also done content editing of ‘Adani Value Booklet’ which has turned into a masterpiece in our company. I will show you the copy of the same soon. I am sure this hard work will bring me many more such accolades in the time to come.
Knowledge imparted by Amit Sir is truly mind-blowing; it makes me think deep. Combination of Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am is quite unique, and that is making this journey more enjoyable and memorable.
Dear Madam,
Success cannot be measured through money, fame and power alone. It is also about confidence, faith, belief and trust. You have, over the years, proved that if you are sincere and honest in your efforts, people will put confidence in you, keep faith in you, and trust you like God forever. I am telling all these from my own experience as I had no hesitation or doubt in my mind when I decided to admit my daughter exactly after 26 years of my completion of Dipti Shah’s course in 1986.
My father provided me an opportunity to join your course at Braham Mitra Mandal Society, Paldi, when I was in first year B.Sc. And what a transformation I have gone through! I can definitely identify attending your course as one of the life-changing events of my life.
I did not score to my family’s expectation in 12th Science and was feeling very low. It is your course that gave me confidence to bounce back and face the reality. Slowly during the class, I rediscovered myself through your various teaching skills. I started gaining confidence and believing in myself that if I cannot become a doctor or an engineer, I can still lead a successful life.
It is an unknown fact for many that I did my B.Sc. (Chemistry) from Bhavan’s College in Gujarati medium. But I had solid foundation laid by you to back me up. I have never failed in any of my personal interviews and group discussions for a job. It is a 100 % success rate. Participating in and preparing for a debate competitions, and analyzing things from various angles for a better presentation has become my hobby.
Currently I am working as Area Manager, LIC Nomura Mutual Fund. By virtue of my job, I keep meeting a large number of people of various cadres and types throughout the year. During my daily activities like interacting with CFOs of companies for their company’s investments, attending meetings, and conducting training sessions for my Advisors, I have never felt shy and low only because of the principles of public speaking you taught us.
Many of my friends (Rupesh Vyas, Mahesh Thakkar, Kalpesh Shah), my cousin Chandni , my brother Jigish, who attended your course after me are leading successful and thriving careers.
Today I would like to give most credit for my successful career to the life-changing event of joining your course.
But I have one remaining wish. I have missed Amit Sir’s experience and skills, because during those days he was engaged with Inductotherm. We hear a lot about him and I believe that my daughter is so lucky to have both of you to guide and motivate her.
Dear Dipti Madam and Amitbhai,
I hope you remember me. I did English speaking course at your institute I guess in the year 1999.
Your course has helped me a lot in each and every aspect of life and is continuously helping me to progress ahead. I am really thankful to you and Amitbhai for all the quality education and motivation you provided. I am living in Sydney Australia now and working as a Taxation Advisor for NSW Department of Education and Communities. I migrated to Australia in 2006.
I also want to tell you that from the first day I landed in Sydney, all the precious knowledge and motivation I gained from your classes has helped me a lot. My sincere apology, it took all these years just to send you one email. But from now I will be in touch and hoping to see you this Oct when I visit India.
I am not sure if you recall me, so I am attaching my pictures.
Dear Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am,
Dipti Shah's - a Great New Way to Speak English and Improve Yourself.
Those days which I spent at Dipti Shah's are very important, enjoyable and memorable. They remain evergreen in my heart.
I have completed my study in Gujarati medium, so I couldn’t speak English fluently but I was very confident. One of my friends told me about this class and advised me to join it. But it was not easy for me to travel daily from Mehsana to Ahmedabad. However, when I met Dipti Ma'am first time I was so impressed by her way of talking that I decided to join this class.
Before Dipti Shah's, I was a tuition teacher. Every day, early morning I used to go to some people to teach yoga, in the afternoon give tuition and in the evening teach dance to some kids. I was a multi-talented teacher. During Dipti Shah's, Amit sir and Dipti Ma'am gave me tips to do things differently and told me to go ahead without any fear.
Friends, during that time I made my Dream Sheet and started to work on it. Amit Sir, my second Father, always helped me and motivated me with lots of love. Dipti Ma'am polished my language and increased my confidence. I decided to start my own business and after finishing my class I did it. A tuition teacher became a successful CEO only in one year.
Due to my business I have to travel to different places. That time many things which I learnt in the class are useful to me. Now, wherever I go people congratulate me on my English speaking style and on my business acumen.
Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am, thank you very much. Because of your blessings, love and faith in me, I have achieved my goals. Thanks to you for my wonderful progress.
At last, I would like to say that Dipti Shah's Institute is a great opportunity for all of us.
"The biggest regret in life would be a missed opportunity such as this."
I am Chandresh Patel. I am Managing Director of Bacancy Technology Pvt. Ltd. Bacancy is a software development firm. We are working in web and mobile app and having 55+ software developers working for us.
I attended Dipti Shah’s classes in 2006 when I was in the initial stage of my job. At that time, the amount of fees was very high for me. I didn’t know whether the course would be worth the fees. But one doesn’t understand the value of communication and English speaking skills till one sees the real advantage of it in one’s life.
The classes impressed me so much that I got energy to motivate myself every day as well as strive for improvement in each and every area of my life. I can say it is the biggest change in my life.
After this class, I got selected in SIEMENS and I worked there for 5 years. I got the power to convince my clients. Now I have got a great power to handle my entire software organization.
I would like to share one experience. One of my clients was willing to pay even US $65 (Rs. 4000) per hour, if I could find him a person, with excellent communication skills, and good pronunciations, who could handle clients from the US.
At the end, I can say that you can learn easily how to code for a software program but you can’t learn great English speaking or communication skills in your entire life, without making significant efforts in the right direction. Thanks to Dipti Ma’am and Amitbhai for their great efforts.

Dear Amitbhai,
I must say Amit Shah and Dipti Shah are great motivators and educationalists. Both of you have transformed not only my and our family members’ careers but those of thousands of other people in the city and maybe in the country to achieve their goals.
When I reflect on the journey I have travelled with you, I must say that you and Diptiben have shared truly dynamic professional education of international level, which India was missing for many years. Being in education field in London, I can see that even in 80's and 90's your guidance and approach was so professional and of the international standard, which I can notice in the British education today.
Thanks for helping my niece to achieve her potential.
Give my regards to Diptiben.

My First Two Weeks at Dipti Shah's Institute of English
Dipti Shah’s Institute enjoys monopoly of being the best English institute in Gujarat state. Dipti Shah’s Institute has raised the bar of quality education and useful and practical teaching as high as only they can raise it further. Nobody can compete with this institute.
I was looking forward to join this institute since long back but circumstances were not in my favour. I registered myself for the course in Jan ’13 but finally I joined in June ’13.
Amit Sir is a wonderful person and he brings bundles of joy through his wit and amazing sense of humour. He is an ocean of knowledge and he has a remarkable ability to guide each student according to his/her needs and capabilities. I always feel amazed as to how he manages to reply each student’s email every day. Sir’s endless efforts for motivating us are highly appreciable. He chooses appropriate movies to show us and motivate us to think about ourselves. I thoroughly enjoy communicating with him by emails. Whenever something noteworthy happens to me, I feel tempted to write him an email. He is an iconic personality.
On the other hand, Dipti Ma’am brings a wave of positive energy into the class. She is not just teaching English to students. She actually lives English; she breathes English. Her passion for English and her non-stop efforts for achieving perfection in her students’ reading, writing, and speaking have earned students’ respect. She inspires me to even think in English. It’s funny, but now I am talking to people in English even in my dreams. Keen and minute correction of our writing is an amazing trait of hers. She finds out rare mistakes in our writing, which leads us closer to perfection.
I am enjoying this course thoroughly and I am sure that I’ll come out as a polished diamond. I will become perfect not only in English, but also in all other aspects of my life. My overall development will be achieved when I finish this course.
I am grateful to the God for inspiring me to join this class and meet these two angels – Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am.

To Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir,
Hi Sir, I gave a speech on my dad’s office inauguration day, on the topic “How this office came into existence” in front of 250 to 300 people. The people present in the inauguration were clients, partners and my dad’s friends. I gave a speech on my dad’s hard work and his dedication to work. I hadn’t told him that I was going to make the speech.
After listening to my speech, all clients, partners and friends were very happy. They appreciated me like anything. As I didn’t know some of the partners and clients, my dad came to me, and hugged me and said, “He is my elder son, Vishwasinh.” Then the partners and clients came to me, shook hands with me, and introduced themselves. All my family members present, were happy too.
Sir, I told you that my grandfather is dead but his father is still alive. Someone from my family told my great-grandfather in the village, “Tamaro ladlo to high class English bole che!” He was ecstatic and talked with me on the phone, as he was not present at the inauguration.
I would like to thank you both, Amit Sir & Dipti Ma’am, who helped me to remove my stage fear. Thank you with all my heart for giving me the knowledge of everything!

After 8 weeks at Dipti Shah's Institute of English
It has been a great experience at Dipti Shah's. I just cannot put it in words! I am out of all kinds of adjectives right now. I cannot express myself. But I would like to tell you how I came to Dipti Shah's.
It was mid April and vacations had already started. During vacations, everybody nags me a lot at home to make my vacation productive, to take up some sports, or do courses at AMA. I had already done most of the courses at AMA. And every year they are repeated so I wasn't interested. The courses which interested me were for people above 18 and I was not sure if they would let me in. So AMA was out of option. Since I am not interested in sports, I just used to lazy around. I woke up late, slept late. Life was boring and stagnant. I didn't even have anybody to hang out with.
Summers had started and so I preferred not to hang out much as I would get dehydrated. Suddenly, one day I recalled what my tuition sir had told me about English speaking classes called Dipti Shah's. I used to always see this building and class whenever we crossed Keshavbaug. I always had an idea that it was an English speaking class.
My Mom had talked to Dipti Ma'am after 10th std. but since the vacations were short, it didn't materialize and I didn't join the class. Even if the vacations had been long, I was reluctant to come here back in 2009 or 2010. Well, during this vacation, I saw the website and I was somewhat impressed by the words ‘public speaking’ and ‘self-development’. I told Dad that I wanted to join this class. Obviously he was happy for the fact that I wanted to grow. But deep down, I was playing a game. He just wrote a check of 25k bucks straight away and handed it to me because my Mom used to pester him too regarding the fact that I was a couch potato and so Dad also wanted me to get out of home. I didn't tell my mom about 25k because I was sure she would flinch!
I took the test and I recalled I was so smug when I got 98 percentage! I came to the class a few days before the classes commenced and paid the fees. If I recall, an assistant named Nikita was there and she processed the receipt and other things. Mansi Ma'am asked me if I wanted to see the class. Well, that was the main reason why I was there. I was amazed on seeing the classroom. It was perfect. I sat on the chair cross-legged and found it to be comfortable and sturdy. I liked the quotations. The class was centrally air-conditioned. The classroom as well as both the toilets were neat and clean. Trust me that was the main reason I was there. Firstly I wanted to escape home. Secondly, I didn't find any better place to kill 3 hours in that scorching heat. So, this class was a boon for me. I thought that I could “Whatsapp” and Facebook peacefully here!
I never had any idea as to what you would teach. You taught the same things which I always wanted to learn! I wanted to gain knowledge about the finer aspects of life.
And that's what you taught. Everybody including me had a preconceived notion that Dipti Shah's was strictly an English speaking class. But what you taught us is very valuable and I can vouch for the fact that nobody else or no educational institution would be teaching all these finer aspects of life. Most of the questions which boggled my mind were answered!
If anybody asks me, "What did you learn there?", I would laugh and say "I learnt so much that I cannot verbalize what I learnt. If you want to learn, then just go!" And ironically, that's the same thing you had once said during the class.
Thank you very much.

I came back from the US just to join Dipti Shah's Inst...
I always thank God for giving me an idea to join Dipti Shah’s Institute. Today, after 9 weeks, I am totally transformed.
I had reached the US on August 3rd 2012. After reaching there I came to know that even though I am an immigrant (a green card holder), I have to take GMAT and TOEFL exams for further studies (MBA). I found some classes for GMAT and TOEFL, but those were costing around $1500 for just 40 hours of coaching, ie nearly Rs. 2300 per hour.
I had faced lots of difficulties in understanding and speaking English in the US. I also realized that I lacked confidence in speaking English and I needed to work on grammar, pronunciation and punctuation. I had attended ESL classes in the US, but I quit them as I found them not so helpful or interesting.
Well, Dipti Shah's is a well-known Institute and I had heard about it when I was in India. I opened Google and typed "the best institute for English teaching in Ahmedabad" and got website of Dipti Shah's Institute 1st on the page. I was impressed by the public speaking videos of previous students. Then I took an Online Entrance Exam and got 98%.
Thereafter I emailed to Amit Sir and took his advice about coming back to India. I was awe-inspired because he took interest in all my questions and solved all my doubts. One of my cousins asked me, "Why do you want to go back to India, you can take GMAT and TOEFL in the US?" I simply asked him, "There might be classes for GMAT and TOEFL, but is there any Dipti Shah' class in the US?"
I cannot express the thrill of studying at Dipti Shah's in words, one has to experience it. It's not just an English teaching class, because I have learned the real lessons of "how to live life." What we learned here, no institute in the world can teach!
Dipti Ma'am is our orthopedist who builds a strong skeleton of the English language. On the other hand Amit Sir is our neurologist and psychologist, who goes deep into our mind to construct and develop our personality.
Today, I can speak English fluently and confidently, just after 9 weeks. I have got courage to face any difficulties in my life. I am as motivated as Yuvraj Singh before he hit 6 sixes in six balls.
My Mom called me every alternate day from the US, and during last 9 weeks she kept asking me, “Son, how is your English coaching going on?" I always told my mom "I wish, I could have joined Dipti Shah's before 4 years.”
Thank you very much, Sir and Ma’am, I adore you, I love you. God bless you!
Happy Teacher's Day!
How beautifully God made a plan for me to join Dipti Shah’s. I had lost my self-confidence. Some things went wrong. I took a leave from job and came home. Suddenly one day, I just visited your site and registered after clearing the entrance test.
After joining Dipti Shah's, I am feeling very powerful. There is a great positive energy here which has made me so positive, calm, confident and proud of myself.
Some of the motivational movies you showed in the class inspired me so much that I love to see them again and again.
Besides, I saw many motivational videos of the great speakers of the world here. However, I find you, Sir, as my biggest motivational source as you are near to my heart. Thank you very much, Amit Sir, for showing me this vibrant path of my life. I want to remain a student of Dipti Shah's forever.
The ambience of our institute is so comfortable that we feel at home here. We used to talk in Gujarati only, but now everyone has started speaking English. I read so many books and studied so many multimedia. Now I am very much confident about my English speaking. I feel like speaking English everywhere and when someone does not respond in English outside of class, I feel like recommending Dipti Shah's to them.
So, this is my lifetime achievement. I gave my 100% and now I'm enjoying 1000% profit. It’s really an unforgettable journey of my life, where I get life’s lessons with so many values and qualities!
Thank you very much, Sir and Ma’am. I adore you!
Yours lovingly,

Hello Dipti Ma’am,
I hope you are well. My name is Raj Patel and I was your student during summer of 1996. It's been almost 20 years since we communicated. It will be very hard to remember an average guy from lower middle class of Ahmedabad. I am the one who got you a rose on the last day of the class at our Public Speaking Function to say 'thank you'.
Currently, I am in charge of hypermarket of Tesco (turnover £50M) in UK, on Future Leaders Programme with destination role COO international. I have completed PhD, specializing in Leadership, Motivation and Retail Management from The University of Liverpool.
My wife, my son and I are British nationals and live in a beautiful place called 'Crosby Village' in the UK. One of my managers asked me question about my journey (academic and professional) and key moments that changed my life.
I think spending that summer with you and Amit Sir changed my life. I thank you for all the skills, confidence and support. You have made a huge difference in my life.
I have attached my contact details with this email. Please let me know if I can help you with anything. We come to India once every 3 years. I would love to meet you next time.
Many thanks!
Regards,

Respected Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir,
Heartiest Congrats to both of you and all of us, for completing the Public Speaking Function successfully along with the Kindness Programme!
It was really an emotional and motivational moment to be part of the Kindness Programme. Ma’am and Sir, you really are a great couple, really awesome. Always fresh, full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to help others, and do charity!
You educate us to help others, think about the less privileged, not be selfish, and in return seek their blessings. It’s really very inspiring for all of us. You both are really true teachers for our society, who give us knowledge and enlighten our life.
The way you teach, the knowledge you give, the care you take, the love you share makes you the World’s Best Teachers.
Thanks for being a true mentor. I must share, you have not only won our hearts but also won over your age. Your looks and energy is probably more than a teenager’s.
Sincerely,
Surbhi Garg

Hello Amitbhai,
Trust you and Dipti Ma’am are doing well.
I started my journey of public speaking in your institute in June 2000. Today, I would like to share one of the key milestones I have achieved in that journey.
I was an elected member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Abu Dhabi Chapter. I served in the committee between 2012 and 2015. Last year, I was assigned the role of a leader in Professional Development. As part of my responsibilities, I was involved actively in organizing our annual international seminar.
One of the topics of the seminar was "Management Lessons from Cricket World Cup Victories," and our esteemed speakers were Mr. Mohinder Amarnath (member of 1983 World Cup team), Mr. Sunil Gavaskar (member of 1983 World Cup team) and Mr. Gary Kirsten (coach of 2011 World Cup team).
I was privileged to introduce the speakers and their topics. I would like to share my video clip of the introduction. Please find the same in the link below:
I just thought of sharing it with you and express my gratitude for showing me the path, giving me encouragement and nurturing my talent.
Kind regards,

Life will change only when you value your dreams more than your comfort zone--this is what I learnt from Diptiben and Amit Sir.
Theirs is a lifelong classroom. And I have been a student of this dream class since 2002.
We all realize at one point in our lives that no matter what degree we have achieved and where we have landed in career, we still have something missing. That something is your true self that you will discover in Diptiben’s classroom.
Learning fluent spoken English, becoming a good writer and reader, learning communication skills for any situation and much more are obvious skills you will learn.
However, you will also learn how to handle tough life and career obstacles, how to develop better interpersonal skills, how to be a good human being, how to value kindness, how to set your priorities and be bold and conquer your life.
When I had joined this Institute, I was a fresh teaching assistant at a respectable college in Ahmedabad. I moved to the US after I got married, where I was not able to work in my own field. Being Dipti shah’s student, I quickly took a detour and did a course in Medical Laboratory Science to secure a specialized job.
I didn’t stop there. My husband (also a Dipti Shah’s student) and I started our small Indian ethnic wear business in the US. I love being a sales person too.
All the learning from this legend institute has shaped me into a multi-dimensional personality. I can proudly say that I am a mom, home maker, a scientist and a woman entrepreneur all in one. Thanks to Dipti Shah’s Institute!

Dear Amit Sir and Dipti Ma'am,
I am writing this email to express my gratitude and happiness for the opportunity you had given me to study at Dipti Shah's. It has given me a new ray of light. I feel like I am altogether a new person after 9 weeks.
The friends with whom I got along very well all these years, all of a sudden I felt I don't belong with them. I have a lot more stairs of success to climb unlike them who want to live an ordinary life.
One thing that inspired me the most was Dipti Ma'am's persistence and hard work - be it the selling of Bibles to running such a great institute to sparing hours and hours on her students' assignments. She has been a great motivation to me.
What I learnt from you both has now started giving me second thoughts about pursuing an undergraduate degree in Australia. I want to enhance my public speaking skills in India first and then go for masters.
Sir, I even started to read up books on marketing and management, as I am planning to do MBA marketing so that I can be a big fish in a small pond.
It was indeed a “paisa vasool” course.
It was a great honour learning from you both not only English or public speaking or self-development but also punctuality, dedication, being humble and sensitive to the people who are less privileged than us.
I have added two more names in my list of people whom I admire the most.
If I ever get a chance to join this course again I will not hesitate to enroll my name again no matter what the fees!
Please extend my thanks and appreciation to Poonam Ma'am and Shreya Ma'am as well.
Sincerely,
Devanshee Bhatt
First Goal Accomplished!
Dear Amit Sir,
My first goal, to get a job, has already been achieved. I have started working with Meditab Software Inc. Here I am getting an environment where I can communicate with our U.S. clients and employees in English. I have been learning a lot.
Last week, the organization selected 20 employees based on their aptitude tests. Fortunately, I am one of them. Would you believe my score is the highest (99%) in the company till date! All others in my group are highly experienced, and our company has organized a special leadership seminar for us.
Right now, I have started working on our organizational goals. I have been getting appreciation everywhere in the company. Feeling awesome!
Thank you very much. I feel my life has changed. I am missing you both every single day. Lots of love to you and Diptiben!

Dear Dipti Ma’am and Amit Sir,
I am Rutwa Joshi. I am working as a Lighting Designer. I attended Dipti Shah’s Institute. In those 9 weeks, I learned so many new things.
Earlier I thought how it matters if I don’t know proper English writing, speaking, listening, vocabulary and grammar. But after joining this class, I knew better! By the way, before joining here I had wasted money two times to learn English in other classes.
Dipti Ma’am taught us every small point regarding the English language and public speaking. I could say Dipti Ma'am is a synonym of English.
Amit Sir taught us how to set and achieve goals, money management, public speaking and so many things. Besides, Sir taught us the value of family, parents, wife, husband and children.
Amit Sir is really a great person. I could say he is the Shahrukh Khan of my “Dear Zindagi”. Sir made me a voracious reader and great human being. During class whenever I was feeling low, Sir used to give me some books to read and help me to overcome my problems.
Yes, those 9 weeks were very tough for me, but it was my golden time. I was on cloud nine during those days and I am missing them badly.
With warm regards,

Dear Amit Sir/Dipti Madam,
Your course on English Speaking and Personality Development has been a wonderful journey for me. When I was planning to join this course, I was not sure whether I would get much value, as my English is not that bad (not good as well!!!). I was looking for the best class for my investment of time and I joined with some doubts.
What I enjoy most is fundamentals of life by Amit Sir. I liked English movies and motivational videos he showed. And more importantly, I liked Amit Sir’s lectures very very much. I am totally convinced about staying in the profession which one likes, and hence I will definitely plan to work on this principle. I also like “go and live bindass” approach taught by Amit Sir.
I have definitely improved my English during the last two months and I would like to thank Dipti Madam. Instead of using many words, I can say that Dipti Madam has kindled the love of English in me. I really mean this. Now when I talk to someone in English or if I watch an English programme, my enthusiasm is really different. I never enjoyed English movies before. However, the movies which I saw in class, I simply loved. Thanks a lot, Dipti Madam!
I have one more thing to say. I am highly impressed with the infrastructure, arrangements, systems and processes you have developed in your class. The system of homework submission, daily SMSs, timetable of tests, exams, writing pads, library management, seating arrangements, shuffling students during class, interactive teaching, etc. were simply amazing.
I lived for 14 years in Pune (one of the best and modern education hubs). I searched and couldn’t find any professional classes there. Your class is definitely the best in Ahmedabad, perhaps in India. May this program continue for a long, long duration!

Dear Amit Sir and Dipti Ma’am,
I am on cloud nine!
Last two months were unforgettable in the journey of my life. I came to your institute just to have command over English, but I did not know that I was going to get the elixir of life.
You said the right thing, “It was God's wish for me to be at your institute.” Sir, I will never forget the lessons that you wanted to teach me for life. My husband told me, “I don't know how much English you have learned, but what I see is a very positive change in attitude.”
Thanks to Dipti Ma'am for infusing power in her students.
I want to be like Dipti Ma’am, the lady who never gave up under any circumstances and raised her children so well. She is an inspiration for my life.
Once again thanks to both of you!

Hello Sir,
My name is Sandip Sharma.
I have got a background in Marketing and now a professional property investor in the UK.
I was a student at Dipti Shah's Institute in December 1999. Starting at Dipti Shah's Institute I had never imagined how it was going to impact my life for good.
I came from English background but there was a lot of room for improvement. Anyway, I got much more than just good English.
I learnt the power of reading good books. I consider reading good books plays a big role in your successful future. I still follow my habit of reading every single day, that is the food for my brain.
I learnt public speaking, which taught me skills not just to talk in front of smaller crowd but I gained confidence to speak in front of bigger audiences as well. I have become a very confident person after being your student.
I have learnt great people skills that have set me for life.
And not only personal development but I learnt how to be a better person. Sunday movies, public speaking are all tools for great future.
Even the most talented person would not reach his highest potential without the most capable coach or mentor. Amit Sir and Dipti Madame have been my very first mentors in true sense.
Dipti ma’am has got great teaching skills in English and she has always paid personal attention to every student in developing their English.
Amit Sir has a wealth of knowledge in any subject. He is an absolute Alchemist.
Words are not really going to do any justice, but as a pair Amit Sir and Dipti Madame have transformed so many lives. They are such a humble couple and giver.
I owe so much to them for what I am today. And always pray them to be in the best health so they can continue to positively impact more lives.

Love Letter to Dipti Ma’am
Dear Dipti Ma’am,
First of all, I would like to thank you, because you gave us a precious chance to learn English in your best and world’s number one institute.
Dipti Ma’am, whatever I am going to say, I am saying it with my hand on my heart―where there is a special feeling for you. When I met and attended your lecture for the first time, I felt like you are my friend. I have seen and met many teachers in my life, but no one was like you.
I love your teaching methods. I love the way you behave with us― how you treat us, how you explain things to us. I love your nature.
Dipti Shah’s Institute is the biggest turning point of my life. I don’t want to leave this institute. The nine weeks which I spent with you were amazing and priceless. I will never forget you. Whenever I see you, I want to hug you tightly for a minute! Dipti Ma’am, I love you so much . . .
