BEYOND PROFIT AND LOSS

“Sir, your share has gone up!” Everyone around him was celebrating. The market applauded. Investors congratulated him. The headlines spoke of milestones. The next morning… he quietly returned to work. Then the market moved again. Some people asked, “Sir, the share has fallen. Aren’t you worried?” Once again, the answer remained the same. “My duty has not changed.” In this deeply personal and thought-provoking book, Dr. Abhishek Gilara shares the mindset that helped him remain calm through one of the most significant milestones of his entrepreneurial journey. Using real-life experiences, timeless spiritual wisdom, behavioural psychology, leadership insights, and lessons from a multi-generational business legacy, he explores a question that every entrepreneur—and every human being—must eventually face: Can you remain internally stable while everything around you keeps changing? Inside these pages, you will discover why success can sometimes be more dangerous than failure, the difference between building valuation and building values, why markets measure price while life measures character, how discipline outlasts excitement, why routine is stronger than motivation, how the principles of Karma Yoga can transform modern leadership, and why lasting peace is built on responsibility rather than emotional reactions. This is not a book about predicting the stock market. It is a book about mastering your own mind. Because markets will always rise. Markets will always fall. Profits will come. Losses will come. Praise will come. Criticism will come. But the greatest leaders are remembered not because they experienced only success. They are remembered because success never changed who they were.
