Sonia’s first book, Corporate Divas was published by Penguin to much acclaim in October 2011. Corporate Divas brings forth the stories of 18 women business leaders and offers inspiring insights into what motivates and sustains them. It’s a useful resource for ambitious young professionals, especially women, aspiring for success in the corporate world. It explores what it takes for women to achieve pinnacle of success in their career.

Sonia’s second book My Life, My Rules was published in February 2013 by Tata Westland and soon after it was featured in Nielsen’s Bestsellers list. My Life, My Rules endeavours to challenge the idea of degrees & conventional careers as a measure of success and happiness in our society. All the individuals who have been covered in the book have had conventional success but they were missing happiness. That happiness came from doing the work they liked. ‘To do what you like is freedom. To like what you do is happiness’ can be said to be the tagline of the book. This book is an attempt at broadening the way our society thinks. By writing about people who have taken such calls in life, she has showcased their struggles, thought process and success stories which may inspire others who also want to follow such path.

Sonia is currently working on her third book which is based on Bollywood in commemoration of 100 years of Indian cinema. Playing and following golf is her favourite pastime. Passionate about life and its nuances, Sonia plans to write several more books, play more golf and help people make better careers for themselves – and hopefully do all of this with equal fervour!
