Shaalin Tandon

Author Biography: Shaalin Tandon, The Boardroom and the Cosmos

Shaalin Tandon is a writer who bridges the gap between the structured realities of global organisational leadership and the infinite mysteries of the human spirit. With over two decades of experience navigating complex, high-impact initiatives across diverse sectors, Shaalin has spent his career mastering the art of strategy, governance, and systemic design. Yet, beneath the professional rigour of a seasoned executive and former diplomat lies a relentless, lifelong quest to understand the fabric of our reality. A Dual Pursuit

Shaalin’s writing is the culmination of a dual life. While he has navigated the complexities of global business, diplomacy, and social impact, most notably as a Board Trustee and Secretary of the Sitapur Eye Hospital, which serves over 400,000 patients annually. He has simultaneously immersed himself in the study of science, consciousness, and the cosmic forces that shape our existence. He does not see these worlds as separate; he views them as distinct languages attempting to describe the same truth. Authorial Vision: The Fallacy of Moksh

In his debut novel, Worthless Superpowers: The Fallacy of Moksh, Shaalin explores the ultimate question: Are we truly free, or are we merely actors in a well-designed cosmic illusion?. By weaving together the stories of seven souls who find themselves at the intersection of destiny and chaos, Shaalin invites readers to challenge the traditional definitions of liberation and karma. His work is not meant to provide easy answers or absolute certainty. Instead, it offers a "New Moksh"—an invitation to surrender the desire to control the how and when, and to find peace in the raw, unfolding now. Global Perspective

An alumnus of Purdue University (USA), the University of Bath (UK), and INSEAD (Singapore), Shaalin brings a multidisciplinary perspective to his storytelling. Whether he is discussing the evolution of consciousness or the paradoxes of ancient mythology, Shaalin seeks to inspire curiosity and introspection. Worthless Superpowers is a story born of the realisation that we are all instruments of a universal force beyond our fathom, and that discovering our own "worthless superpowers" is the most extraordinary journey of all.
