Building India’s Upstarts

Unlike most entrepreneurship books that focus on venture-backed startups, this work examines the journey of creating sustainable, profitable companies through bootstrapping. What sets this book apart is its focus on “upstart” companies—traditional businesses that succeed through incremental innovations and operational excellence rather than disruptive technology. This represents a massive but often overlooked opportunity in India’s growth story. With India’s growing economy creating unprecedented opportunities for such businesses, this book fills a crucial gap in entrepreneurship literature focused on the Indian context.

Women-O-Pause

From the bestselling author of The Autobiography of God
In Women-O-Pause, Lenaa invites you into a year of profound transformation. 2024 sparked a wave of social media attention just as her life shifted dramatically through marriage, relocation, and an unexpected initiation: perimenopause. Rather than viewing it as a decline, she reframed this transition as ‘Womenescence’—a powerful awakening into the next phase of womanhood.
Amid the whirlwind of public visibility and private change, she embarked on a deep exploration of midlife health. Refusing to accept confusion, discomfort, and pharmaceutical dependence, she turned to extensive research, lifestyle changes, and natural healing practices rooted in holistic wellness and ancient traditions.
The result is both memoir and guide—a practical yet deeply reflective blueprint for women navigating perimenopause and menopause with greater awareness, agency, and vitality. Through personal insight and actionable tools, Women-O-Pause challenges conventional narratives while encouraging women to reconnect with the cyclical intelligence of their bodies.
Featuring insights from professional doctors who offer medical insight and clinical perspectives, this book bridges lived experience with modern science. It ultimately reframes menopause not as a problem to be solved, but as a powerful rite of passage.
