You've seen the major motion picture, you've read his #1 bestselling autobiography, now you can hear the remarkable story of Lion and A Long Way Home directly from Saroo!

Separated from his family in India at age five and adopted in Australia, Saroo never forgot his roots and armed with only childhood memories and Google Earth, rediscovered his birthplace and reunited with his mother, an incredible story recounted in his #1 international bestselling autobiography A Long Way Home and the Academy Award and BAFTA award nominated film Lion.

Saroo Brierley’s extraordinary life from a small town in India to global recognition as an author, motivational speaker and film subject is a story of resilience, determination, and purpose.

Beyond his international success, Saroo credits working in his family business, Brierley Hose & Handling, founded by his parents John and Sue in Hobart, with keeping him grounded. Actively involved in its growth and leadership, he demonstrates how staying connected to your roots and purpose drives sustainable success.

In this session, Saroo will share lessons from his remarkable story and his experience as a second-generation family business leader, showcasing how courage, adaptability, and focus can help leaders and families embrace the future with confidence.

Learn how staying connected to what matters most - your values, your family and your purpose - helps you to stay grounded and shape the decisions you make today to create the opportunities of tomorrow.

Don't miss your chance to hear from Saroo at the Family Business Conference: Asia-Pacific in Hobart this May, 19 - 22.
