The Next Mountain: Notes on Resilience, Leadership and Purpose

'SUCCESS IS NOT A SINGLE PEAK, IT IS A SERIES OF ASCENTS.'

On a freezing morning in January 1990, Avinash Kaul, seventeen, rode pillion on his father's scooter as they drove silently through the desolate streets of Srinagar, fleeing home with whatever they could carry. Displaced, he found himself studying in makeshift refugee-camp schools. Yet, against all odds and injustices, he persevered.

In The Next Mountain, Kaul shares his life story in his unfiltered style. A college topper, he began his career with a humble summer internship that earned him Rs 100 per day, and moved up to becoming one of the youngest CEOs in India.

Leading a media company in a hyper-competitive industry, Kaul not only led large-scale transformation, but also grew it into India's largest news network.

Filled with candour and emotional intensity, each chapter in this book is a lesson in navigating with resilience and grit any obstacle that life and work might throw your way. Just as the right tools ensure a mountaineer's success, this book offers a set of guiding principles, real-world insights and strategies for charting your own ascent in life.
