    Sushil Sharma Strengthens National and Community Leadership with Roles at BRICS CCI, ESC and Rotary

    Jodhpur (Rajasthan) [India], June 12: Sushil Sharma, Chairman of Marwari Catalysts Group (MCats Group), continues to expand his leadership footprint across India’s investment, export, and entrepreneurship institutions. He currently serves as Executive Director, BRICS Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BRICS CCI); Convenor, ESC Rajasthan Chapter; and Co-Chair, Startup Vertical, Rotary District 3053 (2026–27) roles that together extend his long-standing mission to bring capital, markets, and mentorship to founders beyond India’s metros.

    As Executive Director at BRICS CCI, Sushil Sharma contributes to the Chamber’s agenda on trade, investment, and innovation across BRICS nations and partner economies, opening cross-border opportunities for Indian startups and MSMEs. As Convenor of the ESC Rajasthan Chapter (Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council), he supports technology exporters and early-stage companies across the state in scaling to global markets. And as Co-Chair of the Startup Vertical at Rotary District 3053 for 2026–27, he brings his entrepreneurial expertise to a wide community network, mentoring and connecting first-time founders at the grassroots.

    These positions build on the platform Sushil Sharma has spent the past decade building. A first-generation entrepreneur and college dropout whose first venture failed, he founded Marwari Catalysts in 2015 on a simple conviction: world-class talent is not confined to large cities, and founders from Tier-2 and Tier-3 India deserve the same access to capital and networks as their metro peers. Under his leadership, MCats Group has supported over 200 startups, made more than 100 investments, and contributed to the creation of 5,000-plus jobs, with women founders comprising 35% of its portfolio across Jodhpur, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. He has also been recognised as a Brand Ambassador by the Rajasthan Foundation and is a Charter Member of TiE.

    “Every role I take on serves the same mission to give founders from emerging India a real seat at the table,” said Sushil Sharma, Founder & CEO, Marwari Catalysts. “Whether it’s facilitating investment through BRICS CCI, enabling exporters through ESC, or mentoring grassroots entrepreneurs through Rotary, the goal is the same: build entrepreneurs from emerging cities over the next decade and connect them to opportunities across the world.”

    His vision remains deliberately ambitious to develop entrepreneurial clusters across Tier-2 and Tier-3 India, link family offices and strategic investors with high-potential ventures, and prove that the next generation of Indian companies will be built far beyond the country’s traditional startup hubs.

  • New Book Records IITs’ epic journey from symbol of the freedom struggle to Global Innovation Hub

    New Book Records IITs’ epic journey from symbol of the freedom struggle to Global Innovation Hub

    New Delhi [India], June 12: The recent book, IIT: The Story of India’s Most Prestigious Educational Ecosystem, by Prabhat Kumar, IRS officer and Chairman of PanIIT Alumni India, presents an extensive report on the evolution of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) from an ambitious post‑Independence nation‑building project to a globally influential educational and innovation hub.

    The narrative traces IITs’ history from 1951, when the foundation stone of the first IIT, IIT Kharagpur, was laid at a site that had been used as a colonial prison: the Hijli Detention Camp in West Bengal. The book contends that the conversion of a colonial prison into an institution of learning was symbolic of India’s future, marking a critical turning point in India’s scientific and technological development.

    Fast forward to today: India has 23 IITs, with alumni numbering more than 500,000 worldwide. Many of them are top leaders in technology, business, government or academia. The book documents the contribution of IITians to major national initiatives such as Aadhaar, UPI, space missions, infrastructure and the burgeoning AI ecosystem in India.

    The book also shows that the IITs story has reached a new phase in which there is rapid growth, a multi-billion-rupee industry of coaching, increasing mental-health concerns and a strong startup culture. The book offers a compelling, richly written and data-driven narrative of this amazing journey combined with compelling policy insights and solutions.

    The book documents the context in which some of the most exciting deep-tech breakthroughs in India are happening – deep-tech in space, deep-tech in agriculture and Indian-language AI models, all coming out of IIT campuses. The book also examines how students are coping under high intellectual and social pressures and documents how IITs and other institutions are trying to support students.

    The book projects to 2047: where are the IITs in the future? What is the vision? The book is a vision for IITs to become research centres, innovation hubs, centres of excellence and centers of talent that will help India grow the vision of becoming a ‘developing nation’ in 2047.

  • Can India Find a Path to Greater Greenery Under the Guidance of Peepal Baba and Ghosts on Peepal Trees?

    Can India Find a Path to Greater Greenery Under the Guidance of Peepal Baba and Ghosts on Peepal Trees?

    New Delhi [India], June 11: This Environment Fortnight is significant in many ways, with events taking place across the country. To mark the occasion, the highly anticipated book Ghosts on Peepal Trees—based on the environmental conservation work of renowned activist Peepal Baba—was launched in Gurugram. The launch took place on the eve of World Environment Day during a tree-planting ceremony where Peepal Baba planted saplings alongside employees from Penguin Publications. Subsequently, on World Environment Day itself, he formally unveiled the book at the Baba Neem Karoli Ashram in Chhatarpur, Delhi, by planting trees amidst the ‘Ashram of Trees’ alongside his volunteers. Since then, the book has been undergoing daily launches at various plantation sites across the country. A target has been set to launch the book at 15 locations over 15 days; so far, 10,700 copies have been purchased. Furthermore, this book is scheduled to be launched during this Environment Fortnight amidst the forests being created by Peepal Baba at locations such as Sorkha (Noida-115), Maincha (Greater Noida), Rahimabad (Lucknow), Khatauli, Meerut Cantt, Barmer, Pune, Karma Lakeland, and others.

    The book weaves together themes of the environment, spirituality, and human emotion. It is not merely a story about trees but an exploration of the profound bond between humanity and nature that has existed for centuries. Through his life experiences, memories, and reflections, Peepal Baba demonstrates that the Peepal tree is not just a natural entity but a symbol of energy, consciousness, and spirituality. The author presents the special significance of this tree in Indian culture from a modern perspective. The book not only raises awareness about environmental conservation among readers but also inspires them to experience a deep connection—both within themselves and with the natural world.

    Faith is the seed of every movement. It begins with a quiet voice—a desire to do something good—and eventually grows into a forest as others come to share that same sentiment. Peepal Baba reveals that the idea for this book first came to him in 2012. It took over a decade to find the time and peace of mind to bring this to fruition; along this journey—and following a road accident in November 2024—conversations with senior executives at Penguin Books paved the way for the creation of this book.

    It took a long time to process the memories and experiences of the past. Reflecting on those days, Peepal Baba shares, “After working at the grassroots level for nearly five decades—restoring greenery across 270,000 hectares and planting 25 million trees and an equal number of shrubs—I believe that even if the change I brought about is small, I made the effort. That is what matters. The stories in Ghosts on Peepal Trees (In the Shade of the Peepal) are not merely tales; they embody an Indian mindset deeply rooted in our culture, scriptures, mythology, and memories. Certain beliefs have evolved into institutions—sacred and inviolable—becoming part of our collective DNA. The Peepal tree has drawn me to itself since childhood. I have dedicated forty-eight years to planting, protecting, and promoting this vital species. This book is my way of sharing that enduring bond—a relationship that has been bittersweet and sacred alike.”

    See the world as it truly is: How can caring for plants serve the nation? During Environment Fortnight, Peepal Baba’s acclaimed book Ghosts on Peepal Trees has become a favorite among readers.

    Peepal Baba recounts that it was thanks to his grandmother that he had the opportunity to explore the forests of Uttarakhand—places like Corbett, Rajaji, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Narendra Nagar, Tehri, Uttarkashi, Nainital, and Almora. Mysterious, miraculous, and vibrant—this is a story of dedication. I simply want to show how easy it is to love greenery and biodiversity, and how important it is to take small, beautiful steps. I have always written for myself; I loved reading my diary and revisiting old memories.

    Our small family moved to Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh. Even decades later—even during the pandemic lockdown—I could not bear to stay confined within four walls. I would water the plants, feel the sun on my back, and converse with the wind as if it were an old friend. Nature did not create us for confinement; it created the open sky and called that home. Cambrian Hall School became my first real classroom. Before that, I had studied for a year each in Kolkata, Dalhousie, and Chandigarh—quite a challenging educational journey for a young boy.

    My maternal grandmother had come to assist my mother at the time of my birth, but in reality, she had come to take charge of our household. After living in Dalhousie, Kolkata, and Dehradun, she eventually moved to Allahabad to live with her youngest son. From my birth until my graduation (1966–1986), I lived with her continuously. That patch of land taught me my first lessons about the environment. For more information you can visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peepal_Baba

  • Delhi-Based Author and Coach Malini S Inspires Emotional Awareness Through The Power to Pause

    Delhi-Based Author and Coach Malini S Inspires Emotional Awareness Through The Power to Pause

    New Delhi [India], June 10: Delhi-based author, speaker, and self-leadership coach Malini S has made her literary debut with The Power to Pause, a heartfelt and reflective book that encourages readers to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and navigate life with greater emotional clarity. Originally from Andhra Pradesh, Malini works as an Identity, Self-Worth, and Self-Leadership Coach, helping women build confidence, self-trust, and inner strength through her coaching platform.

    With a background in management and a strong passion for emotional well-being and personal growth, Malini has dedicated her work to supporting women in rediscovering their sense of identity and self-worth. Through coaching sessions, workshops, and motivational talks, she continues to guide individuals toward greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

    For Malini, publishing The Power to Pause is far more than simply becoming an author. She describes the experience as deeply emotional and meaningful, as the book reflects her own journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery. According to her, the book gives voice to emotions and struggles that many women silently experience while appearing strong on the outside.

    The inspiration behind the book emerged from observing how frequently people struggle with overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and self-doubt in today’s fast-paced world. Through her personal experiences and coaching journey, Malini realised the transformative power of pausing, becoming emotionally aware, and responding to life with mindfulness instead of impulsive reactions.

    The Power to Pause explores themes such as self-worth, emotional overwhelm, inner growth, overthinking, and self-awareness. Through reflective insights and compassionate guidance, the book encourages readers to slow down and better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns. Rather than offering quick solutions, it gently invites readers to reconnect with themselves through awareness, reflection, and emotional honesty.

    Malini hopes readers finish the book feeling emotionally stronger, calmer, and more connected to themselves. She wants the book to serve as a reminder that healing often begins with self-awareness and that clarity can emerge when individuals give themselves permission to pause.

    Beyond writing, Malini continues to actively conduct one-on-one coaching sessions, workshops, and talks centred around emotional wellness and personal transformation. She also plans to continue writing in the future, exploring deeper aspects of identity, emotional healing, self-worth, and inner transformation through her experiences and insights.

    Through The Power to Pause, Malini S offers readers a gentle yet powerful reminder that sometimes slowing down is the first step toward genuine growth, healing, and self-leadership.

    The book is available on Amazon:

    Rajesh Madan Launches Ananda in Action, A Guide to Conscious Leadership and Business Transformation

    Author and leadership coach Rajesh Madan (centre) with guests during the launch of Ananda in Action, a book exploring conscious leadership, self-awareness, and business transformation.

    New Delhi [India], June 9: Rajesh Madan, branding strategist, organisational culture expert, and leadership coach, has launched his first book, Ananda in Action, offering business leaders a fresh perspective on the relationship between inner awareness, leadership effectiveness, and sustainable business growth.

    The book brings together Madan’s three decades of experience in branding, communications, organisational consulting, and leadership development to explore how self-awareness and conscious decision-making can help business owners build stronger organisations and lead with greater clarity and purpose.

    In Ananda in Action, Madan argues that many business challenges often attributed to strategy, processes, or market conditions are, in reality, rooted in human factors such as stress, ego, fear, and the need for control. The book presents spirituality not as a retreat from business performance, but as a practical framework for improving leadership, decision-making, organisational culture, and long-term success.

    Rajesh Madan

    Drawing from his professional journey, including his role as part of the core team at HCL Technologies during the acclaimed Employees First transformation led by VineetNayar, Madan shares insights on the importance of addressing the human dimension of business. Through real-world experiences and practical reflections, the book examines how leaders can move beyond reactive decision-making and create organisations driven by purpose, trust, and resilience.

    Speaking about the launch, Rajesh Madan said, “I want to positively impact 10,000 business owners before I turn 60. That aspiration is rooted in a simple belief: when the person at the top changes, the business changes, and when the business changes, the families and communities around it change. Ananda in Action is my attempt to share a practical framework for that transformation.”

    Beyond his work as an author, Madan is the founder of The Monks, a branding and communications consultancy, and Culture Coach, a leadership and organisational development practice. He also leads Grayleap, a community-driven business book club that encourages continuous learning among entrepreneurs and business leaders.

    The launch event brought together prominent business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership practitioners, and authors, reflecting the growing interest in conscious leadership and purpose-driven business practices in India.

    Through Ananda in Action, Rajesh Madan invites business leaders to rethink success, not merely as an outcome of strategy and execution, but as a reflection of the mindset, awareness, and values of the individuals leading the organisation.

    About the Author

    Rajesh Madan is a branding strategist, organisational culture consultant, leadership coach, and entrepreneur with over three decades of experience working with businesses across sectors. He is the founder of The Monks, Culture Coach, and Grayleap, and has worked extensively with business owners and leadership teams to build stronger brands, healthier organisational cultures, and more conscious leadership practices.
