A Road in My Name
Your guide to turning dreams into achievements, from small-town beginnings to Fortune 500 success.
From childhood, Rakesh Singh’s singular ambition was to become an Indian Airforce Fighter Pilot. However, when he didn’t clear the interview, he had to pivot and explore new paths. His journey took him through various jobs—as a graphic designer, call center trainer, entry-level engineer, and ultimately, the technology leader of a Fortune 500 company in the US.
“A Road in My Name” is a compilation of the lessons he learned along the way, each chapter lists practical advice with personal anecdotes. From his first job as a graphic designer in Delhi with a salary of INR 3,200 to working as a technology leader in the USA, Rakesh reflects on the importance of financial freedom, seizing opportunities, and taking risks.
This book is a guide for young Indians, especially from small towns, who may lack access to role models to guide them on their professional journey.
