Greetings from the bustling grounds of the New Delhi International Book Fair! Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Tony Parmar, a multifaceted individual whose journey embodies a fusion of professional excellence, philanthropy, and a profound love for life’s adventures.
Dr. Parmar, a distinguished figure from Mumbai, India’s vibrant commercial hub, graciously shared insights into his diverse career trajectory, his passion for writing, and his unwavering commitment to giving back to society.
As we delved into his background, Dr. Parmar revealed that his professional journey has been deeply rooted in the healthcare industry, where he has ascended to the roles of Managing Director and CEO of several companies. Despite his remarkable success in the corporate realm, Dr. Parmar found himself drawn to the world of literature, driven by a desire to encapsulate his thoughts and experiences in a tangible form. His upcoming second book serves as a testament to this newfound passion, enriching the literary landscape with his unique perspective.

His expertise lies in marketing and strategy within the medical domain, but his true calling extends beyond the confines of boardrooms and academic institutions. Driven by a profound sense of gratitude for the guidance he received throughout his life, Dr. Parmar is committed to paying it forward, channeling his energy into initiatives aimed at uplifting society.
Our conversation meandered through various topics, including the rich cultural tapestry of India, the allure of Mumbai, and the universal language of human connection. Dr. Parmar eloquently encapsulated the essence of India, a country that effortlessly blends ancient traditions with modern aspirations, offering a kaleidoscope of experiences to all who venture within its borders.
Amidst discussions about his future endeavors, which include conquering the Everest Base Camp and mentoring a startup in the realm of nutraceuticals, Dr. Parmar shared his philosophy on life — an invitation to savor every moment, embrace diverse paths to success, and prioritize human values above all else.
In a world marked by rapid change and uncertainty, Dr. Parmar’s message resonates deeply — a reminder to cherish the journey, cultivate integrity, and forge meaningful connections that transcend borders and ideologies.
As our conversation drew to a close, Dr. Parmar extended a warm invitation to all to embark on their own adventures in India, a land brimming with untold stories and boundless opportunities for discovery.
In closing, let us heed Dr. Parmar’s words and embrace the richness of life with open hearts and minds. Together, let us embark on a journey of exploration, connection, and shared humanity.
Thank you, Dr. Tony Parmar, for gracing us with your presence and illuminating our paths with your wisdom.
