About us

At PIM Toastmasters, we are more than just a club—we are a close-knit community focused on helping our members grow into confident public speakers and inspiring leaders. Whether you are a professional, student, or academic, our club welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, each committed to personal growth and improvement. Since our founding in 2016/2017, we have been driven by a passionate and energetic executive committee, and we are proud to have hosted the Area E3 Humorous and Evaluation Competitions, a true testament to our dedication to fostering communication and leadership skills.

How it all started?

Our journey began in September 2015 when a group of experienced Toastmasters from our sponsoring club, “Smedley Toastmasters,” organized a Speechcraft program at the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM). Over 30 participants joined, eager to refine their public speaking and leadership abilities. The success of this program sparked a strong desire among the participants to create their own Toastmasters club. With a shared vision, we formed the PIM Toastmasters Club and officially chartered with 23 members, right after the grand finale of the Speechcraft program.

Since then, the club has continued to grow, and we have seen our members transform, gaining confidence and new skills with each meeting. Our humble beginnings laid a solid foundation, and we are now a thriving club with a bright future ahead.

Our Dream

The journey of growth and learning is made even more meaningful by the incredible support we receive from our patron, Dr. Asanga Ranasinghe, the Director of PIM, and the entire PIM staff. Their unwavering encouragement has been instrumental in helping us shape our club into what it is today. Their belief in our mission and their commitment to our success inspire us to strive for excellence every day.

At PIM Toastmasters, we proudly call ourselves “dreamers.” We believe that having a vision and a dream is what keeps us moving forward. Our dream is to help every member grow—not only as a speaker but also as a leader capable of making a positive impact in their communities and beyond. As former Indian President Dr. Abdul Kalam once said, “Dreams are not those things that you see in your sleep, but dreams are those that will not let you sleep.” This powerful quote perfectly captures the spirit of our club. Our members are driven by a deep desire to keep learning, improving, and achieving their full potential.

Our dream is to create a space where everyone is encouraged to step out of their comfort zone, embrace challenges, and develop the skills they need to succeed. Whether it’s giving a speech, leading a team, or supporting others in their journey, PIM Toastmasters is here to help you become the best version of yourself.
