Competency Web: The Corporate DNA
Originally published in 2002, Competency Web: The Corporate DNA is being updated for a new edition. Its integrated model explains how organisational competencies are created, connected, developed, deployed and renewed, supported by tools for practical application.

Power & Politics
Power determines what gets done. Politics shapes how people acquire, influence and exercise that power. Yet politics extends far beyond politicians and governments. It operates wherever people pursue interests, compete for resources, negotiate differences and influence decisions—from boardrooms and institutions to communities and personal relationships. Drawing on political philosophy, history, psychology, sociology and management, Power & Politics explores how power is acquired, exercised, defended, challenged and lost. Moving beyond political science and professional politics, the book examines the underlying processes that shape human interaction and collective action. It offers readers a practical understanding of political realities—and the insight to navigate them with greater awareness, effectiveness and responsibility.

Curious About Hinduism?
Three Books. A Thousand Questions. A Journey of Discovery.
How can thousands of years of Hindu wisdom be made accessible to a generation encouraged to question everything? Curious About Hinduism? is a three-volume, scripture-grounded introduction that explores Hinduism on its own terms, without becoming an academic history, a reinterpretation or a religious defence. Designed for contemporary readers, it bridges the understanding gap between generations through clear explanations of scriptures, philosophy, the Divine, dharma, karma, rituals and living traditions. The series invites young people, families and curious readers to discover not simply what Hindus believe and practise, but the ideas, questions and meanings behind a vast spiritual heritage.

Why Do Hindus Do What They Do?
Every ritual has a meaning. Every festival has a story. Explore Hindu worship, ceremonies, festivals, arts, epics and everyday practices—and their place in contemporary life.

In the Shadows of Memory
A father’s fading memories. A son’s enduring love.
How does a son become his father’s parent without ceasing to be his son? For eight years, a son cares for his father as Alzheimer’s gradually erases familiar faces, relationships and the world they once shared. Based on the real-life caregiving experiences of Binoy B. Raj, this deeply human narrative captures the suspicion, sleepless nights, exhaustion and guilt of caring for someone who increasingly depends on you yet may no longer recognise you. Between heartbreak and frustration emerge unexpected moments of tenderness, humour and connection—a moonlit search for an imaginary destination, a familiar song that awakens recognition. Originally published in Malayalam and translated into English by Raj Shekhar, the book explores the enduring bonds of love when memory disappears.

Intuition: The Black Box
How does the mind find answers before we consciously know how? A doctor senses a diagnosis, a chess grandmaster recognises a winning move, and a musician improvises effortlessly. These seemingly mysterious abilities reveal the extraordinary workings of human intuition. Drawing on neuroscience, cognitive psychology and experiences across medicine, business, creativity and everyday life, Intuition: The Black Box explores how the brain recognises patterns, processes experience and reaches conclusions beyond conscious awareness. But intuition is not infallible. The same processes that produce remarkable insights can also generate bias, false confidence and costly mistakes. This accessible exploration examines when intuition deserves our trust, when it should be questioned, and how we might develop better judgement by understanding its hidden mechanisms.

Weight of the Wings
Six generations · Palakkad to the wider world · 1850–2025
How far can we travel before the price of freedom defines us? Spanning 1850–2025, Weight of the Wings follows six generations of a family rooted in Palakkad, Kerala, as their lives unfold across India and eventually the world. Against the changing landscapes of colonial rule, social reform, independence, modernisation and global migration, successive generations pursue education, love, wealth, power and freedom—often at profound personal cost. Through three interconnected novels—The Fractured Mirror, The Frontiers of Desire and Nomad’s Compass—the trilogy explores how history reshapes families, challenges inherited identities and transforms the meaning of home. A literary historical saga about roots and routes, aspiration and sacrifice, and the enduring weight of belonging.
BOOK I · TRUTH AND INHERITANCE
The Fractured Mirror
As the familiar world of nineteenth-century Malabar begins to change, inherited hierarchies, loyalties and certainties come under pressure. The opening novel explores how the struggle to define truth can divide families and reshape the foundations of belonging.
BOOK II · AMBITION AND TRANSFORMATION
The Frontiers of Desire
In an era of profound political and social upheaval, a new generation pursues love, freedom, wealth and influence beyond inherited boundaries. Their choices reveal both the exhilaration of ambition and the sacrifices demanded by its pursuit.
BOOK III · MIGRATION AND BELONGING
Nomad’s Compass
As descendants disperse across India and the wider world, success and mobility bring new opportunities alongside questions of identity and attachment. The concluding novel asks what remains of home when the family that once defined it is scattered across continents.
