Strictly speaking, the first book I began reading in December 2020 but completed it on January 1, 2021 so I am including that in January just to notch up the number!
Corporate Yogi: My journey as a spiritual seeker and an accidental entrepreneur, authored by Dr Arvind Lal and published by Harper Collins. He is none other than the one who heads the popular Dr Lal’s Path Lab chain of clinical testing facilities that has blazed a trail in bio-testing over the years, with South Asia’s largest clinical testing facility located in a multistorey building in Rohini, North Delhi. The book is a detailed autobiographical account of his life right from his college days as a medical student and as seeker on a quest looking up to Haidakhan Baba, practising karma yoga and japa yoga, to steering Dr Lal’s Path Lab chain to reach dizzying heights. It is a gripping story, starting with his brother shooting his father dead at home, which changed the course of all their lives.
