Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], September 21: “Seeing SAARATHI become an Amazon India bestseller on its launch day is deeply encouraging,” said Hirav Shah. “This response belongs to every reader who supported the book, recommended it and connected with its central message. The right business guidance can change not only an enterprise, but also the life of the person building it.”
SAARATHI tells the story of a fashion designer from Ahmedabad whose business is on the edge of collapse, a strategist who sees what he cannot, and crucial decisions that could change the future of an enterprise and the family waiting at home.
Through ambition, family, humour and uncomfortable choices, SAARATHI explores what happens when hard work is no longer enough and someone finally helps you see the road differently.
Could SAARATHI Find Its Way to Film or OTT?
Since the book’s release, a few readers have commented on social media and other digital platforms that SAARATHI could translate well into a movie or OTT series.
Asked about the possibility, Hirav Shah said:
“Honestly, I never thought about a movie or OTT series while writing SAARATHI. I simply wanted to tell a meaningful story about business, guidance, ambition and family.”
“I have read a few comments suggesting that the story could work well on screen, and it is encouraging to see readers imagining it in that form. But there were no expectations behind writing the book. Whenever an idea comes to mind, I simply write it down and allow it to find its own journey. Let us see where SAARATHI goes from here.”
