How to Be Wise (Paperback)

Nitish Rai Gupta is a global sage in a corporate cape, distilling the essence of 25+ years of business leadership across Asia into accessible wisdom for everyday life. As the managing director for South-East Asia at a leading American multinational, he has navigated boardrooms with strategic finesse, while soaking in the cultural hues of continents—from the soulful ghats of Varanasi to the sleek skylines of Singapore. His self-help masterpiece is a tapestry of universal truths—drawn from executive victories, family escapades, and rich cross-cultural experiences. It’s a book born not just from success, but from reflection, resilience, and a deep desire to help others thrive. Beyond the corner office, Nitish is a devoted family man who finds balance in life’s beautiful mess—from savouring spicy street food to unwinding on long walks with his loyal dog. When he’s not mentoring rising leaders, you’ll find him perfecting his chai recipe with his partner-in-crime Aditi or passionately defending the superiority of mango pickle in debates with his kids, Tisha and Krnav.
