Mak Singh
From British Powerlifting champion platforms to film sets, actor, boardrooms, politics, and publishing — Mak Singh is building a body of work designed to inspire and entertain.
Stories that move people. Ideas that change them. Work that lasts.
Not in spite of those worlds colliding — because of them.
I’m Mak Singh — British Powerlifting Champion, Bollywood actor, former city councillor, business consultant, author, and filmmaker. Not in spite of those worlds colliding but because of them.
My journey began on a powerlifting platform in 1995. It moved through Bollywood film sets in 1997, into council chambers in 2016, boardrooms, and years of helping people close the gap between where they are and where they’re capable of being.
Along the way, I was honoured by the Wolverhampton Sports Council with the Special Person of the Year Award for promoting sport across the city, recognised as a BBC WM Unsung Hero finalist through nominations from my constituents, and later awarded Sports Coach of the Year in 2024.
In 2025, I had the opportunity to deadlift in front of one of my lifelong inspirations, Arnold Schwarzenegger — a full-circle moment from the young man who first dreamed beyond his circumstances.
Today, that journey continues through the books and scripts I write, the films I develop, and the stories I bring to life — work designed to inspire, entertain, and leave a lasting impact.
And the right story, told at the right moment, can change everything.

The 7 principles that changed my life.
From the powerlifting platform to the council chamber, from film sets to boardrooms — these are the principles that carried me through every chapter. Download the free guide and start writing yours.
I want to become a global storyteller — someone whose films, books, and ideas reach people everywhere and leave them a little more awake than when they found them.
I’m actively looking to connect with producers, publishers, collaborators, and partners who want to build something powerful together.
Get in touchTrusted by leaders across sport, business, and stage.
Mak doesn’t just talk about transformation — he’s lived every version of it. The clarity he brought to our leadership team reset the way we approached the whole quarter.
Working one-to-one with Mak is the closest I’ve come to having someone hold up a mirror that I couldn’t look away from. Six months in and I’m a different operator.
He didn’t walk on stage to deliver a talk — he walked on to share a life. The room was different after that hour. The feedback from delegates was off the chart.
A rare guest speaker — equal parts storyteller, athlete, and strategist. Our students left with notebooks full of ideas and a different idea of what they were capable of.
There aren’t many people who can sit in a boardroom in the morning, take direction notes on a set in the afternoon, and still bring the same level of focus to both. Mak does.
When Mak speaks to a room, every chair leans in. Decades of real experience behind every line — no theory, no fluff. Just signal.
