Praise for the book
Shivaji Sengupta has been and will always remain one of my closest friends, a true philosopher, and a guiding force in my life.. What made him exceptional wasn’t just his competence-it was his deeply human approach to leadership. Am incredibly excited about this book, which prom-ises to chronicle the evolution of India’s insurance industry through the lens of people, purpose, and leadership. There’s no one more qualified to tell this story than Shivaji.

It is both an honour and a privilege to pen this preface for a book that is much more than a recollection of professional milestones – it is a legacy, thoughtfully narrated by a man who has not only witnessed the evolution of an industry but has helped shape it…

Shivaji Sengupta’s life journey took him from the fast-paced world of corporate leadership in Mumbai to a more grounded calling as a Social Entrepreneur in Kolkata. He was a corporate leader, with a career marked by leadership, innovation, and transformation. Over the years, he has built organizations from the ground up, led teams across geographies, and played a key role in complex mergers and acquisitions. His professional journey – rich in experience and insight has been shaped as much by challenges as by the people who stood beside him.
Having spent a significant part of his career in Mumbai, Shivaji now resides in Kolkata, where he is actively involved in social impact initiatives. People Made Me is his debut work, capturing personal reflections, professional learnings, and the lasting influence of those who helped define his path.
This book is both a tribute and a reminder – that no journey is ever walked alone.
