This professional life has been engaging enough but with the intention to contribute towards creating a just society, I have been making intellectual contributions by way of writing and speaking in the public for more than three decades.

I have written 26 books, which were published in India and abroad by prestigious publishing houses such as Zed books, Routledge, and Penguin RandomHouse. Besides, I have written hundreds of articles along with a regular column, ‘Margin Speak’ in the prestigious Economic and Political Weekly.

All my writings get regularly translated and published in most Indian languages and even abroad. Most of these articles are available on the internet and in the public domain. I have delivered hundreds of lectures across India and abroad. I was twice invited by US universities for lecture tours. I have been doing this role of a public intellectual for all these years, winning me several laurels, awards and honorary doctorates from universities.

I have thus a reputation as one of the outstanding scholars in my own field of management; as a professional, I have a reputation as a CEO-level corporate executive, as a writer, I have a reputation of being one of the most sought after authors; as a public intellectual, I have a reputation of being one of the most sought after persons in the entire country.
