About the Author

The Man Behind the Philosophy

Mani Shankar is an entrepreneur, philosopher, and author whose 40-year business journey transformed him from a driven achiever into a thoughtful observer of the human condition through commerce.
Author of the celebrated “When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Child”, Mani brings the same introspective clarity to the world of business — examining not just how to succeed, but why we pursue success at all.
This book is the culmination of decades spent asking deeper questions: How did I run my business? How much did I truly evolve as a human being? What is the real profit of a life well-lived?
— From the Preface · Business: An Excuse to Grow
