Helping people find the words
and the will to lead.
Syed Zia ur Rahman is a corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and Distinguished Toastmaster with a psychology background — spending two decades turning communication into a leadership advantage for healthcare teams, corporates, and individuals across India and the Gulf.
Two decades of building things that talk to people —
clinics, communities, and platforms.
Zia’s career sits at an unusual intersection: healthcare operations, digital publishing, and human communication. As Managing Director of ZITCO Private Limited, he runs a medical import/export business and a digital services team. As founder of YaHind.com, he has spent over two decades running a news platform for the global Indian diaspora.
Earlier, he spent 21 years building and running multi-specialty clinic networks in Riyadh — taking Mawyah Consultative Clinics from a single branch to nine, after growing Consultative Medical Clinics from one location to five.
Alongside the business career runs a parallel one: Zia has been on stage since 2003. He holds a Master’s in Psychology and an MBA in Healthcare Administration, and channels both into corporate training, keynote speaking, and soft-skills coaching — helping people communicate with more clarity and lead with more confidence.
Four disciplines, one focus: how people understand each other.
Corporate Trainer
Certified by IMPACT and MSME, Zia designs and delivers workshops on leadership, business communication, and soft skills for corporates, colleges, and schools — grounded in real management experience, not theory alone.
Keynote Speaker
Zia has spoken at community and corporate stages including the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD), bringing two decades of leadership stories to audiences that need more than a motivational sound bite.
Toastmaster (DTM)
A Toastmaster since 2003 and Distinguished Toastmaster since 2018 — the organization’s highest honor. Former Division Director and Area Governor, now active with Vision Toastmasters Club, Hyderabad.
Psychologist
An MSc in Psychology underpins Zia’s approach to coaching and training — reading what makes teams and individuals communicate poorly, and building practical habits that fix it.
