Tej Lalvani
Need a business speaker to inspire your audience? Maybe you’re looking for someone to demonstrate what is capable with hard work, determination and a never say die attitude? Whatever your purpose for looking for business speakers, Tej Lalvani is certain to fit the bill. CEO of the UK’s largest vitamin company, Vitabiotics and a former Dragon on the popular BBC show Dragons’ Den, Tej can regularly be found inspiring audiences with his expert insights at events across the country.
Born and bred in India, Tej is the son of Indian entrepreneur Kartar Lalvani, founder of Vitabiotics. While you would be forgiven for thinking that this is a story of nepotism, you’d be wrong. Tej didn’t want to just be handed the keys to the business kingdom. He wanted to earn it. Which is why, despite having a degree from the prestigious Westminster Business School in the UK, Tej happily began his career in a Vitabiotics warehouse.
At all of his business speaking events, Tej explains to audiences why he made this decision, and how it helped inform key business decisions he would make in the future when he eventually succeeded his father as CEO of the firm.
Under Tej’s leadership, Vitabiotics has flourished into Britain’s biggest nutraceutical brand supplying a whole host of vitamin and mineral food supplements and other health-based products to millions of consumers across the country.
The company has grown exponentially since Tej took control, and this success has seen him the recipient of a whole host of individual accolades. This includes being named one of the most influential Asian people in Britain by the GG2 Power List and winning ‘Young Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the 2012 Asian Business Awards.
While these awards are a testament to Tej’s huge success, to many people he is best known for being one of the Dragons on Dragons’ Den. Joining the show in 2017, in his time on the show Tej helped a whole host of budding entrepreneurs achieve their business dreams, and invested in a number of exciting, creative companies in a variety of sectors. In 2021, he stepped down from the show to focus on the expansion of Vitabiotics.
Tej Lalvani has earned a reputation for being one of the most engaging and valuable business speakers around. When you book Tej, you don’t just receive a speaker who is going to boast about their success and little else, you’re going to receive a transformative masterclass that offers real-world advice to help the career of your audience members flourish. So what are you waiting for?

Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event.
