The Story (Obstacle is the Path) Dr Amit Nagpal is India's leading voice in business storytelling & social (media) leadership. At age 6, he began his education with spectacles powered -6. Discouraged to participate in outdoor sports, he found solace in books. Academically he has been a topper and won several prizes in co-curricular activities.
