A seismic shift is underway—one that will redefine work, value, and even what it means to be human.
Artificial Intelligence is not just disrupting industries—it’s beginning to outperform humans in areas once considered exclusively ours: complex reasoning, creativity, even emotional intelligence. As AI accelerates, it will displace millions of jobs—while also creating once-in-a-generation opportunities for those ready to build, innovate, and lead.
This profound duality raises the defining question of our time:
In a world where machines can learn, decide, and simulate emotion—what remains uniquely human? And how do we protect, strengthen, and evolve that edge?
In Human Edge in the AI Age, bestselling author and global tech leader Nitin Seth offers a powerful and deeply personal answer. Drawing on decades of leadership across McKinsey, Fidelity, Flipkart, and Incedo—and rooted in the timeless wisdom of Indian philosophy—he reframes the AI debate through a human lens.
At the heart of the book is POSSIBLE: an eight-dimensional framework that unlocks the core human strengths that will define success in the AI era—including problem-solving, openness, spirituality, balance, leadership, and the spirit of entrepreneurship.
Whether you’re a student stepping into an uncertain future, a professional navigating change, or a leader shaping what comes next, this is your blueprint for thriving—not in spite of AI, but because of what makes you human.
The future is POSSIBLE. Let’s lead it with the human edge.

A captain and his men are outnumbered by hundreds and fired upon relentlessly from all angles.
Captain Saurabh Kalia and his five men from 4 Jat Regiment were the first casualties of the Kargil War in 1999. The unit was captured alive by the Pakistani Army and subjected to unimaginable horrors for twenty-two days—a stark violation of the Geneva Convention. The men had vowed not to reveal any secrets if captured, and they kept their promise even when each and every bone in their body was hammered to pieces.
In The Legacy of Captain Saurabh Kalia, Dr N.K. Kalia—with author Sreemati Sen—documents the inspiring life of his son, his pivotal role in the Kargil war, and his family’s relentless efforts in their quest for justice.
Featuring exclusive photographs, excerpts from the captain’s diary, letters written by him and rare interviews of his family, relatives, teachers, classmates, batchmates, and officials who were then posted in Kargil, this deeply researched account brings to light a story of valour and courage like you’ve never known before.
By the YouTube sensation with more than two million followers, the inspiring account of a woman in her thirties who, in a moment of personal crisis, embarked on an epic, transcontinental motorcycle ride – and along the way found a new sense of purpose.
Noraly Schoenmaker was a thirty-something geologist living in the Netherlands when she learned that her live-in partner had been having a long-term affair. Suddenly without a place to stay, she decided to quit her job and jet off to India in search of a new beginning. Her plans were dashed when she fell quickly and helplessly in love: with a motorcycle. Behind the handlebars, she felt alive and free – nimble enough to trace the narrowest paths, powerful enough to travel the longest of roads.
She first rode toward the Pacific, through the jungles of Myanmar and Thailand, then into Malaysia. Rather than satisfy her appetite for the open road, this ride only piqued it. She shipped her bike to Oman, at the base of the Arabian Peninsula, and embarked on a journey through Iran, across Turkmenistan along its border with Afghanistan, over the snowy peaks of Central Asia and into Europe, all the way back home to the Netherlands. She covered remote and utterly unfamiliar territory; broke down on impossibly steep mountains; and pushed too many miles along empty roads, farther and farther from civilization. But through her travels, she discovered the true beauty of the world – the kindness of its people, the simplicity of its open spaces, as well as her own inner strength.
In spirit of The Motorcycle Diaries and Wild, this is an inspiring story of self-discovery and renewal. Filled with unforgettable figures, hilarious disasters and powerful human connections, it shows you what happens when you open your heart and let the world in.

Upendranath Brahmachari conjured a potent drug to vanquish the spectre of kala-azar, saving millions from the deadly disease. Ram Nath Chopra explored ancient ayurvedic knowledge, extracting a natural compound from sarpagandha to treat seizures and high blood pressure. Azizul Haque and Hem Chandra Bose etched a novel cipher for fingerprints, birthing the science of forensics with their elegant method. Though pilfered by Scotland Yard, it found mention in the intricate plot of Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of the Four. Yellapragada Subbarow sculpted five monumental discoveries that reshaped modern medicine, saving countless lives—yet, in a poignant twist of fate, could not save his own.

They bring alive the history and sociocultural milieu of the times these men lived in, how they changed the landscape of Indian science and how they proved that the only difference between the ordinary and the great is this: the ordinary think they are great and the great think they are ordinary.
Bagging seeds to relax our eyes, making a cloth pad as self-care, draping a saree like trousers to go upside down, drawing to feed ants: can ancient rituals, practices and their objects work as modern ‘tools’ to ‘declutter’ our almost overloaded senses?
Clutter—real and virtual—is a part of our life now. These cleansing rituals and healing practices are believed
to have old-world history, rooted essence, purgative properties, health benefits, and zero or minimal waste.
If tweaked, it can even help us declutter to stay on top of our body–mind game.
Laced with nostalgia and punctuated with delightful memories, explorations and failures, The Art of Decluttering takes you through nine retellings of clothing, home and body, which make aspects of ancient Indian ritualistic life relatable to the modern reader.

One day, a battered van with a trailer attached is found parked in the Mead, the open village green. In it is Mr Christaki, who is unkempt in appearance but gentle in speech.
