ABOUT SHUBHAM SALGAONKAR
I am an entrepreneur and writer from Mumbai. My work sits where ambition, uncertainty, systems and human behaviour meet.
Failing My Way Forward is the most personal expression of that work: an honest record of what happens when the plan breaks and you still have to decide what comes next.
THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
I have had ideas that moved, plans that stalled and seasons where confidence disappeared before the work did. The book grew from those experiences—not as a formula, but as a companion for anyone who is still finding their way forward.
“Failure didn’t stop me. It showed me the way.”
THE LONGER VERSION
I grew up in Mumbai with more ideas than a neat plan. I was interested in business, people and why some systems move while others stay stuck. That curiosity became a habit: start, learn, change course and begin again.
Studying International Business in Liverpool gave me distance from the version of success I had inherited. New places, work and uncertainty made one thing clear: progress is rarely a straight line, and pretending otherwise does not help anyone.
I keep returning to the same problem—how to turn a scattered idea into something useful. Alongside books and digital projects, I collaborate with companies to provide point-of-sale systems shaped around how their teams actually work.
I did not want to write from a polished finish line. I wanted to document the middle: backlogs, wrong turns, restarts, ambition, doubt and the decision to keep moving before the outcome becomes obvious.
COMPANY COLLABORATIONS
I also collaborate with companies to provide POS systems that support their day-to-day operations. The work begins with understanding how the team sells, tracks and serves, then shaping a system that fits that reality.
A NOTE TO THE READER
It is a place for the books, the ideas behind them and the conversations that begin after someone reads. The storefront exists to make that relationship direct; the rest of the site will keep growing with the work.
