1. Who and what inspired you to write?

While working as an auditor for company ATOS SYNTEL. I saw senior managers and project team were finding complexity in running their projects, I felt that there must be an easy way out for this. Not able to find any such book I decided to write a book myself for masses. Through this book I have simplified complexity of business and management topic to intermediate level as running project successfully and meeting its objectives was a challenge.

2. What challenges did you face while writing and getting published?

Unlike others I never attended a class on writing process. It was because of sheer guts so there was lot of learning involved. The first challenge was to get a literary agent for myself and publisher. I in fact never knew whether literary agent existed too. After finishing my book, I download from internet on how to pitch a book. That was for the first time I came about the word literary agent. Then I pitched to various publishers and literary agent and pat came the reply from the book bakers about book selection and representation.

3.  How did you come to know about the literary agency THE BOOK BAKERS?
 
As discussed I never knew that literary agent existed. I read a book and that helped to understand term literary agent and what they do. I googled some of the literary agent from India and THE BOOK BAKERS name was mentioned in website of leading publishers. I also found Suhail Mathur added in my friend list whom I added once as he commented on books of one of my Facebook friend. I then decided to mail my manuscript to him and it was a wonderful journey that still continues.

4. How did THE BOOK BAKERS help you and what would you like to say about them?

Suhail has been a very helpful man. I remember how terrified I was when finding some publisher for my book. Reading my pitch Suhail replied within 3 days that he is ready to represent me. His words reassured me I waited for him about a month to get back to me. I was happy inside then I researched about him and was happy that my book is in safe hand and he will certainly do something for me and my book. I consider him like an angel who is ready to help new authors there who does not have any strong background and are new to the publishing world.

5. How do you see literary success for yourself?

Literary success for me is able to get reviews from 18+ various proficient leaders including CEOs, literary agent and VP and get their rave comments on my first book. I consider I am lucky as I never went through any formal process and learning of how to write a book or pitch it. It all came naturally as a god gift as I was truthful to myself. I consider this as primary success. Then comes opportunity of secondary success which are my readers in market but as I am confident about the first part. Secondary success doesn’t bother me much. I just pray to god to set things right and that my books become a huge success.

6. When can we expect your next book?

My next books is in stands. This book is on leadership. Suhail & I have pitched this to one of the largest publishing house, Rupa publication and is slated to release in 2020 under their banner.

7. Any message or tips for aspiring authors?

These are my principles of life and I would like young generations to follow them in whatever they do including writing: -

Stay committed to your dreams.
Stay true to yourself.
And Stay unique in whatever you do.
