Dil Se Dost: A Journey of Purpose, Gratitude & Transformative Connections
At 66, Rohit Chanana—business leader and one of India’s leading angel investors—distills a lifetime of experience into Dil Se Dost, a heartfelt memoir on values, resilience, and meaningful success. More than just a book, it’s a mission—to inspire at least a million lives, with every rupee earned reinvested toward that purpose.
Rooted in 60 timeless philosophies (30 personal, 30 professional) forged through decades of experience and 1,000 hours of dedicated curation, Dil Se Dost shares authentic, real-life stories of meaningful outcomes and transformative moments—whether it was navigating high-stakes corporate decisions, backing visionary founders, or experiencing deep personal shifts through gratitude and mentorship. The book explores gratitude as the foundation of inner peace, meaningful connections (Dosti) as the key to lasting relationships, and continuous growth as the courage to reinvent oneself.
Inspired by deep conversations with Gurus, family, founders, teams, colleagues and friends, Dil Se Dost blends personal experiences with profound reflections on leadership, ambition, and the pursuit of a life driven by impact and gratitude. At its core, the book carries a simple yet powerful belief:
“If I could become who I am today, so can you.”
