About the author

Paresh is passionate about capability development and coaching and comes to us with perspectives like they hold the universe's secrets. Hailing from a modest and humble family with shades of bright and dark phases in early childhood, he moved from corporate to corporate and from rank to rank with experiences and learning and was known for his man-management skills. "Choose love over power, always." It strikes as one good advice for all. From Software Education, he embarked upon a career in Life Insurance in Sales and then in Training, Learning & Development. After over 26 years of empowering trainers and teams in the learning and development world, Paresh's empathy and curiosity flows naturally. He is an avid learner with certifications ranging from neuroscience, project planning to financial planning with emotional intelligence being his favourite field of interest. When asked ‘Who are you?’, Paresh will quickly respond, ‘Lifetime Learner’. Reading is an unexpected passion for someone typically on-the-go but for Paresh, books have been a lifeline since his youth. He remembers saving up money earned from painting, writing certificates with his calligraphic skills for the treasured title and holding the crisp pages, diving into new worlds - made all the difference. Running, on the other hand, was never expected to be his passion. When he was medically challenged for running, he laced up and running became a self-affirming ritual. Paresh talks of running marathons with a glint of pride in his eyes. So, if you ever meet Paresh, ask him for reading recommendations and be prepared for some motivating marathon stories as well. When Paresh was asked to describe his writing process, he answered in two simple words: "I Run." He adds, “When you can run, why walk?” While most writers prefer solitude, Paresh prefers to go for a run to spark his creativity. “It’s around the fifth mile where I'm tired but not exhausted, zeroed in but not zoned out," he said. By seventh mile, words would come together to form sentences and paragraphs. "As soon as I get home, I have to write them down!" he laughs. So, there you have it – Paresh is on a journey now as a writer which is a departure from his traits as Coach and Leader and his passion for running. It is all coming together with all his heart in his first book, The Growning Effect.
