Amar Latif

Amar Latif is an award-winning entrepreneur, motivational speaker and television presenter who has defied all expectations to lead a remarkable life. Known to many as The Blind Traveller, Amar lost 95% of his sight by the age of 18 due to an incurable eye condition. Rather than letting this define him, he used it as a springboard for success, proving that with determination and resilience, anything is possible.

About Amar Latif

As a motivational speaker, Amar has delivered powerful keynotes to audiences across the globe, including the United Nations, Goldman Sachs and Lloyds Banking Group. His talks explore overcoming adversity, leadership through change, and embracing difference — all told through powerful personal stories that challenge perceptions and inspire action.

Amar rose to fame on BBC2’s Beyond Boundaries, a 220-mile jungle expedition across Central America, where he climbed volcanoes and crossed rivers alongside other disabled adventurers. He went on to become the first blind contestant on Celebrity MasterChef, reaching the semi-finals, and starred in the acclaimed BBC documentary Travelling Blind with Sara Pascoe.

A successful businessman, Amar is the founder of Traveleyes, the world’s first commercial tour operator for blind and sighted travellers. For this groundbreaking work, he was awarded the Stelios Disabled Entrepreneur Award and named one of the world’s Outstanding Young Persons by the Chamber of Commerce International.

Warm, witty and unforgettable on stage, Amar’s story is one of courage, innovation and breaking barriers, making him a compelling choice for conferences, corporate events and education settings alike.

Testimonials

"This has been the most inspiring and touching presentation I have ever experienced in my twenty five years of working in this company."

HR Director, BT

"Amar’s speech ‘Obstacles! I Can’t See Any Obstacles’ was a hugely inspiring keynote address, which was both motivational and uplifting. We have received extremely positive feedback from audience members, with a number being so touched by his personal story that they would be keen to see him come back to Goldman Sachs in the future so that he can share his story with a wider audience. Most pleasing is the fact that it has now inspired a number of individuals to become more actively involved in forwarding the disability agenda at Goldman Sachs."

Global Diversity Manager, Goldman Sachs
