The Starting Yard
Most advice sold to Indian professionals profits from their anxiety, telling them they are behind, underqualified, or too late. The Starting Yard argues the opposite: the years you have spent inside a company are not a delay, they are the raw material for what you build next.
Written for the working professional with eight, twelve, or fifteen years of real experience, this is a career intervention, not a motivation book. Every chapter pairs an operator's framework with real, documented scenes and Indian and global case studies, closing with reflection prompts that turn reading into action.
Running through all eighteen chapters is Vikram, a composite character whose journey from job loss to first structured idea mirrors the exact path this book lays out.
"Your professional life is not the obstacle between you and building something. It is the raw material for it."
