At the heart of leadership lies the courage to transform pain into purpose, and few exemplify that journey as powerfully as Premal R. Patel, international business leader, motivational storyteller, and now, author of the highly anticipated book – YANGA Unplugged.
The global debut of YANGA Unplugged took place in Dubai at MAMA Shelter, attended by VIP guests, media representatives, and close acquaintances. The evening, gathering a few elite members, was a celebration of resilience, authenticity, and the human spirit. The book is now available worldwide across major platforms, including Amazon, Kindle, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble, through IngramSpark’s global distribution network.
In his deeply personal work, Premal takes readers on an empowering journey that begins with loss and evolves into a life defined by clarity, leadership, and transformation. Drawing from decades of experience across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, he shares actionable tools, insights, and timeless wisdom for anyone seeking to reconnect with their true self and lead with intention.
“This book is more than my story; it’s a message to anyone who feels stuck, unseen, or uncertain of their next step. You have the power to write your own story — you just must unplug from what’s holding you back,” says Premal Patel.
YANGA Unplugged blends ancestral wisdom with modern leadership principles, inviting readers — from entrepreneurs to corporate executives — to reclaim their narrative and transform adversity into growth. Through powerful reflections and practical guidance, Premal inspires readers to lead with authenticity, courage, and self-belief.
