About the Book

Born in Jammu & Kashmir, Babar leaves his town for good with a promise of never coming back to the troubled land which is engulfed with terrorism and no opportunities for young people. In this book, he takes us on his life's journey from the corporate world to the world which is wild. He asks questions and tries to find answers and keeps responding to the problems around him which turn into a sequence of events that force him to come back. This is Babar's journey to discover his true calling to become a Pashmina artist, activist and a Pashmina goat shepherd (the only one in the world) to save this magnificent specie in Himalayas and the Pashmina eco-system that preserves the ancient culture, religion and heritage of Himalayas. A journey to shed excess baggage (both internal and external) and become 6 times thinner, to bring in social positive change. Along the way he explains the Wisdom of Shepherds which he gets from this tribe which are lessons for businesses, stat-ups, students, home-makers, executives, consultants, policy makers, politicians and more. A simple yet inspiring journey, to save Authentic Pashmina, which is rare to see in these hyper times.
About the Author: Babar is a former McKinsey Analyst, an Ethical Hacker and now the founder of the Global Pashmina Goat Project who quit his Silicon Valley career to herd goats in Himalayas six years back. He has been highlighting issues linked to the pashmina eco-system across Himalayas (displacement of communities due to climate change, low wages, fake pashmina, depression in community, forced migration etc.). He chose to become a shepherd and while travelling and living with Pashmina Goat Shepherds, Weavers, Crafts Men and Women across the Indian Himalayas understood the challenges faced by them. He is now making attempts to connect these original stake holders into the global luxury and fashion industry. Babar has held many press conferences, abstract art exhibitions, served legal notices to hundreds of fake pashmina traders, hosted pashmina fair trade events, advocated and influenced policy decisions and fought battles to safe guard the interest of these communities. With his selfless work, he has been quoted as "the most credible man on pashmina in the world". A recipient of many national awards, he believes that disconnecting with small ambitions and pursuits of his own life, was the way to connect with the Universe which had a bigger plan for him.
