Leadership and destiny have more in common than we think.
Bhupendra Suri, CEO of Creamline Dairy Products Ltd. (Godrej Group) and Creambell India, is no stranger to complexity. From leading one of India’s most trusted dairy brands to navigating ever-shifting market forces, his professional life revolves around high-stakes decision-making. But in his latest book—The Unfathomable Hand of Destiny—Suri zooms out from the boardroom to explore something deeper: Are we truly making decisions, or simply fulfilling a script already written?
Released this week on Amazon India and Notion Press, the book is a philosophical inquiry grounded in the Mahabharata, one of India’s most complex and enduring epics. Drawing from its moral and metaphysical dilemmas, Suri interrogates the eternal debate between free will and fate—a conversation as relevant to spiritual seekers as it is to CEOs, farmers, and policymakers.
“We like to believe we are in control,” Suri writes, “but time and again, we are confronted by events that challenge that illusion.”
This is not Suri’s first foray into authorship—The Unfathomable Hand of Destiny is his fourth book—but it may be his most personal and thought-provoking yet. For professionals in the dairy sector, who constantly juggle volatile milk prices, unpredictable weather, and shifting consumer preferences, the book offers a surprising parallel: the challenge of acting wisely in uncertain conditions.
What Makes It Relevant to the Dairy World?
While the book isn’t about dairy, its underlying questions echo deeply in our industry:
- How do we balance long-term strategy with short-term market forces?
- Can we make room for intuition and ethics in data-driven decision-making?
- Are we truly choosing, or simply reacting to systemic pressures?
Suri’s dual life—as an industry leader and a contemplative thinker—offers a rare vantage point. His writing is accessible, intelligent, and rooted in a lived understanding of what it means to lead with awareness, even when outcomes are beyond control.
Final Thoughts
In an age of AI forecasts and algorithmic supply chains, Suri’s book is a timely reminder that not all decisions are rational, nor should they be. Sometimes, wisdom comes not from certainty, but from wrestling with the unknown.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful read that bridges ancient wisdom with modern leadership, The Unfathomable Hand of Destiny is worth a place on your shelf.
