A thought-provoking exploration of how lessons from the sporting field shape life, leadership and human development.
New Delhi [India], October 4: The book Playground to Purpose: Life Lessons That Begin on the Field and Stay Forever, authored by Mr. Manish Saini, was launched at the prestigious India International Centre (IIC), New Delhi, in an engaging literary gathering organised by Jashn Events.
The book launch brought together authors, literary enthusiasts, professionals, distinguished guests and members of the audience for an insightful conversation around the transformative power of sports and the life lessons that emerge from the playground.
Mr. Manish Saini is a Rail Tourism & Digital Growth Leader, entrepreneur and philanthropist, with a deep passion for experiential travel, innovation, sports and human development. He is the Director of Worldwide Rail Journeys, a globally recognised luxury rail tourism company, and the Director of SainiDigiTech India Private Limited, a digital solutions and technology enterprise focused on innovation and business growth.
He is also the Founder of SainiShakti Foundation, an initiative committed to empowering communities through sports, education and social development.
However, beyond his professional accomplishments, Playground to Purpose reflects a deeply personal dimension of Mr. Saini’s journey — his belief in the enduring values that are cultivated on the sporting field.
At the heart of Playground to Purpose lies a simple yet powerful idea:
Sports are not merely games — they are a way of learning, living and becoming.
The book goes beyond the conventional understanding of sport and explores its deeper role in shaping individuals and communities. Through reflections, experiences and observations, Mr. Saini examines how lessons learned on the field can influence various aspects of life — from education and relationships to workplaces, leadership, decision-making and personal growth.
The launch event featured an introduction to the book and its central philosophy, followed by an engaging interaction with the author and the Moderator Vini Bhati. The gathering also provided an opportunity for guests to connect with the author, explore the ideas behind the book and celebrate the beginning of its literary journey. Two distinguished guests Mr Ajay Yadav & Mr Paramjeet Khurana also took part in the book discussion.
Speaking about the book, Mr. Manish Saini shared his perspective on the connection between sports and life, highlighting how experiences on the playground can influence the way individuals approach challenges, relationships, leadership and purpose.
Event was closed with the vote of thanks and book signing with the author for the readers.
The book is published by 111Ideas, with Pankaj Kumar as the Publisher. It is currently available across all major online book portals and will soon be available at leading bookstores as well.
