From corporate boardroom to books, writer and corporate leader Shaalin Tandon’s leap from profit lines to profound lines had its genesis during the COVID-19 pandemic. The slowdown was life-changing for Tandon, like it was for so many, the author explained at the launch of his debut book, ‘Worthless Superpowers: The Fallacy of Moksh’ at the Bandra (W) bookstore, Title Waves on Friday, June 5, at noon.

As friends and family cheered and congratulations rang out at the event, anecdotes, some thoughtful, others humorous, and stories of a spiritual journey peppered that afternoon.
