Book Summary:
The Accidental Apprentice tells the story of Sapna Sinha, a young woman living in Delhi who works in an electronics store to support her family. Her life changes dramatically when she’s approached by Vinay Mohan Acharya, one of India’s richest men, who offers her an unbelievable opportunity: to become the CEO of his multi-billion-dollar company.
But there’s a twist—before she can claim the position, Sapna must pass seven life tests, each designed to evaluate a different quality of leadership. These trials test her morality, integrity, courage, and resilience, plunging her into dangerous and often shocking situations.
As Sapna navigates these challenges, she discovers hidden truths about herself, her society, and the people around her. The novel weaves in themes of ambition, ethics, fate vs. choice, and the power of the human spirit. It’s a story of a woman’s unexpected journey from an ordinary life to extraordinary self-discovery.
