Launch of a book

Educated at IIT Kharagpur and IIM Calcutta, and once an officer-trainee in India’s Civil Services, Samir has worked across London, Tokyo and Singapore in Financial Markets for over a dozen years, and back in India working in new domains of Public Broadcasting, and Digital Transformation. He has led institutions through reinvention and helped shape how stories are shared in a fast-moving world.
But beneath all of it runs a simpler thread of the ongoing journey inward.
A student of Vedanta, Samir lives with deep reverence for the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the power of silence. He is drawn to what remains when the roles fall away. This book is an offering from that space, shared as a quiet act of remembering.
Samir continues to serve through writing, media, mentorship, and initiatives that aim to empower young minds, especially in rural India. This is his first book in this form. But it comes from a lifelong relationship with the Self behind all forms.
Freedom! Let Us Begin the Journey is a quiet invitation to remember what has always been present beneath your breath, beneath your thoughts, beneath your search for meaning.
Drawing from the Vedantic Framework of the PanchaKoshas (five sheaths), the layers of body, energy, emotion, identity, and bliss, this book gently guides you inward. Each chapter offers honest reflection, practical tools, journaling prompts and meditative pauses to help you return to yourself, again and again.
This book draws on the vast and varied experiences of immense intensity of the author who himself understands that the deepest quest is not about fixing one’s mind or polishing one’s life. His invitation is much gentler, where you are encouraged to see with clarity, to welcome every part of your experience, and to rest in the quiet presence that remains when all else has fallen away.
This is a book for anyone who has felt distant from their own stillness, anyone who has tried to become something, and anyone ready to stop running from the simplicity of being.
Instead of a distant goal, this book invites you to see freedom as the simple remembering of what has always been yours.
