Seekhna Band Toh Jeetna Band
"The day you stop learning, you stop winning"
Verses Kindler Publication · First Edition, 2025 · English · 214 pages
A memoir and leadership guide for every professional who has ever wondered whether their background limits their potential.
What This Book Is About
When I began writing Seekhna Band Toh Jeetna Band, it wasn't with the intention of becoming an author. It was to pause, look back at my own journey, and acknowledge the people, lessons, and struggles that shaped who I am today.
It is a journey of resilience, transformation, and continuous learning — from a childhood in Begusarai, Bihar, where discipline and values became my foundation, to leading hundreds of professionals as CIO of IndiaMART, and on to coaching. The title carries the whole philosophy: the day you stop learning, you stop winning.
This book is not just a collection of stories from my life; it is a reminder that when we stop learning, we stop living fully. My hope is that as you turn these pages, you will find pieces of your own journey reflected here — and give yourself permission to learn, unlearn, and relearn as often as life demands.
Whether you are 22 and just starting out, or 42 and wondering if it's too late to make a change, this book is a reminder that your starting point is not your story. How you learn along the way is.
