Verified voices, no commission right now, and a curated shortlist in 24 hours. No account, no sales call.
Booking a speaker through a legacy bureau usually means three things you can't see: which names were pushed because of a relationship, what margin sits on top of the fee, and whether anyone actually checked the person. We built iShruti so all three are visible from the first email.
The model is deliberately simple. You pay the speaker's own fee, plus travel where it applies, and the speaker receives that fee in full. No opaque markups, no pay-to-play placement, and no roster inflated with names nobody has verified. Legacy bureaus take 20–25% with hidden margins; we charge no commission right now.
A human curates your shortlist within 24 hours of your brief. You get bios, reels, real fees, and availability - then you choose, with no account to create and no sales call to sit through. We handle the contract, scheduling, and payment, and we replace a speaker who cancels.
No commission right now. Every speaker checked.
Not a rolodex with a markup. A curated roster where we charge no commission right now, the verification is individual, and a human builds your shortlist in 24 hours.

Five questions every organizer asks - tap one.
Three ways: we charge no commission right now rather than burying one, every speaker is individually verified rather than listed on reputation, and the roster is built for the AI era rather than recycled from the 2010s circuit. You see the same fee we do.
Nothing right now. Curation and shortlisting, contracting, payment handling, and scheduling logistics carry no commission and no agency fee. You pay the speaker's own fee, plus travel where it applies.
Within 24 hours of a completed brief, curated by a person rather than a filter. Rush replacements move faster; the 72-hour promise applies when a confirmed speaker cancels.
No. The brief takes about two minutes and requires no account and no sales call. You'll hear from a human, not a sequence.
If a speaker cancels, we deliver a vetted replacement within 72 hours or refund everything paid through us for that booking.
Yes. Keynotes are the default, not the limit - we also book moderators and full panels, emcees to host the day, hands-on workshops, and virtual or hybrid sessions. A panel turns on chemistry and a workshop on teaching ability, so we brief and shortlist for each differently rather than sending the same names to every request.
Rather we just figure it out for you?
