A lifetime of disciplined hard work and
commitment alone can create lasting legacies and stories of such successes need
to be narrated to inspire more and greater successes, India’s ace shuttler P V
Sindhu said on Saturday. Sindhu released Blood Sweat And Honey, a
biographical anthology penned by Dr V R K Rao, chairman of Agile Group.
Speaking
on the occasion, Sindhu said: “Today’s youth is largely inspired by instant
success stories emerging from the technological world. Undoubtedly, the rapid
pace of technological progress has put instant success within the realm of
possibility. But then the fast track is a narrow lane – and mercilessly
treacherous. Quick success may not be a lasting one either. On the contrary,
commitment and sustained hard work produces outcomes of lasting value. Rao’s
life story exemplifies just that! Despite humble beginnings and personal
tragedies, he attained success in diverse fields, built a thriving business
group and, more importantly, touched lives. His is an inspirational life and I
am happy to release his biographical anthology.”
Speaking
at the book launch, Sindhu’s coach Padma Bhushan Pullela Gopichand said,
“A successful life is one that is well balanced, one devoid of trade-offs
between family, profession, personal health and values. Rao has achieved that
much-elusive balance and it’s the most important takeaway from his story. Let’s
not forget that life is a marathon, not a sprint! It is important that we learn
from the previous generation of how they reached life’s goal posts undeterred
by challenges and uncompromising on values.”
Blood
Sweat And Honey is a biographical anthology by Dr V R K
Rao, a retired Indian Air Force Squadron Leader and chairman of the 25-year-old
Agile Group. The 32,000-strong Agile Group is a leading security services
provider in South and also made a mark in entertainment and sports sectors.
Rao’s productions for television bagged multiple Nandi awards and he also is
the franchisee owner of Hyderabad Hunters badminton team and Black Hawks
Hyderabad volleyball team.
In Blood
Sweat And Honey, Rao narrates his experiences in Air Force, voluntary
retirement forced by untimely death of wife, challenges of managing a new
business enterprise while being a single parent of three kids and eventual
successes in multiple businesses – all through the book’s protagonist Murali.
Complimenting
V R K Rao for penning the book, Dr T Prabhakar Rao, IGP, Intelligence,
Telangana, said, “Blood Sweat And Honey instils optimism and advocates passion
and commitment. It has a profound message that will positively impact the
readers.”
Dr V R K Rao said that “ it gives me immense
pleasure to release my book at this time when Agile Group is celebrating
25years Of its excellence”.
