Maneesiam Eua FuaSenior Manager Brand Activation SEAPAC, Reebok

“From the moment we engaged with Shloka, we knew we were in safe and experienced hands. This event was our most complex and ambitious yet, but Shloka’s approach ensured it was meticulously well-managed. Every member of the team gave their absolute all to make sure every request was accommodated, and nothing was ever too much.
The challenges and obstacles we faced were always overcome with professionalism and ease thanks to Shloka’s quick-thinking and ability to always find solutions.
One of our biggest apprehensions was how the multiple, diverse and complex dietary requirements would be managed, especially with 100% buffet service and over so many days, but it was delivered perfectly.
Special thanks to Catherine and Apple who supported us around the clock during the planning and event delivery – we could not have executed this event to such a high standard without them.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, which reassured us from day 1 and throughout. We would work with Shloka again in a heartbeat!”
Ms. Sophie WadeyEvents and Operations Manager – The Rhodes Trust
“I and the Atlantic Institute have worked with Shloka on two separate occasions. The first of these was for the biggest event we have
ever held (around 400 attendees), and it was being held in Thailand. Catherine & Apple were our points of contact for the whole time
and her attention to detail, flexibility and professionalism was amazing. The team that they put together to work with us both in the
run up to the event, and during the event were really hard working. No query or request was too much. When we subsequently held
another event, this time in Vietnam, Catherine, Apple and Shloka were our first choice to help with the logistics and event planning.
Again we were not let down, and made the event, as the one in Thailand had been, a great success. I cannot recommend Shloka highly
enough for the end to end event planning, logistics and support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Mr. David MallinsonTeam Coordinator (Convenings) - Atlantic Institute, Hosted by Rhodes Trust Based in Oxford, UK
“If you’re organising an event, big or small, we’d recommend immediately that you get Shloka Events onboard as your partner. We
worked with them for a massive international event in Bangkok, and working with Shloka was the best decision we could have made.
Having organised events in countries across the globe, we can state confidently that we have not come across an agency with such an
impeccable level of service, from start to end before. Shloka got the job done, no matter how complex your need was, and they did it
in an efficient, kind way. Our biggest comfort with hosting this program was that their team, Catherine and Apple, were dependable,
we could ask them for a task, no matter how last minute, and rely on them to just deliver – with no fuss. With their experience, they
also were skilled at troubleshooting any challenge that came our way. Overall, our conference, the Allies Assembly was successful to
this scale, thanks to Shloka and their incredible work ethic. We appreciated it so much that we’d work with them again in a
heartbeat.”
Ms. Aparna TrichurAlliance Lead – The World Benchmarking Alliance
“Tekano Health Equity had the privilege of partnering with Shloka Events for our learning trip to Vietnam, and their expertise in event
management and logistics was truly exceptional. They took on the critical tasks of coordinating accommodations, transport, and
relationship-building efforts with precision, ensuring every aspect of our journey was handled smoothly and professionally.
Apple, our dedicated events manager, alongside their incredible team, provided a personal touch in managing our fellows,
demonstrated an outstanding client-centered approach. Their attention to detail, genuine care, and understanding of our unique
needs allowed our team to focus on the purpose of our trip, confident that all logistical matters were in capable hands. Even when
brought on board at the last minute, Shloka Events exceeded expectations, adding tremendous value and making our experience
significantly easier.
Shloka Events went beyond the standard scope of service, ensuring that all service providers were not only appropriate but also
upheld the highest standards. Their efficiency, professionalism, and ability to quickly resolve challenges were remarkable. Additionally,
they were mindful of our budget, offering cost-effective solutions without compromising the quality of services provided.
As a South African organization, we were deeply impressed by Shloka's ability to create an experience rooted in care, support, and
impeccable planning. Their team’s commitment to excellence and problem-solving was instrumental in the success of our learning
trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Shloka Events to any organization seeking top-tier event management and support. Their value
extends far beyond monetary measures—they bring true dedication, professionalism, and care to their work.”
