Blending military discipline with corporate strategy, former Indian Army officer and business leader Navinder Singh Narang has released his debut book, Bring Your Own Shark (BYOS), a bold and thought-provoking guide that redefines how we approach personal and professional growth.
Launched to critical acclaim, BYOS uses the compelling metaphor of "sharks" to represent the external and internal challenges that push individuals out of their comfort zones. Drawing inspiration from the legendary story of how fishermen kept fish active by introducing sharks into tanks, the book argues that the right kind of pressure is often the catalyst for real transformation.
Far from being a conventional self-help manual, BYOS blends allegorical storytelling with real-world case studies, psychological insights, and actionable strategies. Each "shark" introduced in the book symbolizes a crucial mindset for navigating today’s complex world—from the speed and urgency of the Mako Shark, to the adaptability of the Tiger Shark, to the fearless leadership embodied by the Great White.
“Growth isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you chase,” says Narang, whose military and corporate experiences uniquely position him to write on resilience, leadership, and transformation. A strategist and systems thinker, he has led impactful initiatives across sectors, helping organizations navigate complexity and build for scale.
Bring Your Own Shark is a call to action for individuals and leaders to stop waiting for change and instead create it by intentionally embracing challenges that build character, courage, and capability.
The book is now available on major platforms and is quickly gaining traction among readers looking for fresh, purposeful perspectives on leadership, performance and self-mastery.
