Dr. Sushant Rajput is an award-winning, Amazon Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker, corporate leader, and educator with over two decades of experience across the IT and ITES industries.

He is widely recognised for his work in professional development, mentoring, and value-based storytelling that blends industry insight with human growth.

His debut book, I Wish Someone Told Me This Before My First Job, received widespread acclaim and was recognised as an Amazon Bestseller, helping thousands of young professionals navigate their early careers with clarity and confidence. After spending several years as a blogger and storyteller, Sushant officially launched his journey as a published author in January 2024, quickly establishing himself as a respected voice in professional and personal development literature.

Building on this foundation, his second book, Mindful Momentum: Navigating Procrastination and Overthinking, expanded his reach beyond Gen Z to a wider adult audience. The book was praised for its practical wisdom and reflective depth, offering readers tools to overcome mental clutter, build consistency, and move from overthinking to thoughtful action.

His third book, Courage Within: Indian Tales of Grit and Values, marks a meaningful shift toward value-based storytelling. Written primarily for children aged 10–15, yet deeply relevant for adults, the book brings together 21 culturally rooted Indian stories that explore grit, honesty, discipline, empathy, and quiet courage. Designed as a modern-day Indian Panchatantra, it aims to nurture character, spark reflection, and encourage conversations across generations.

Currently associated with eClerx Services Ltd. in a senior leadership role, Sushant has held key positions with leading global organisations including HCL Technologies, Société Générale, Cognizant, and Deutsche Bank.
