Mumbai Hosts Historic Literary World Record as The Grand Authors Marathon Highlights Authors’ Contribution to India’s Growth
Mumbai:
Mumbai has once again reaffirmed its position as India’s cultural and intellectual capital by hosting a historic literary milestone. The Grand Authors Marathon, a world record–setting initiative organized by ABCD International Family in association with Bhabad International Publication, successfully showcased the power of authorship, knowledge-sharing, and collective thought leadership in shaping India’s growth narrative.
This landmark initiative marked the 12th World Record created under the leadership of ABCD International Family and Bhabad International Publication, strengthening their mission of empowering lives through literature, education, and purposeful storytelling. The event stood out not only for its scale but also for its deeper intent—to highlight the role of authors as contributors to India’s intellectual and social development.
The program began with a professionally conducted virtual book launch ceremony, setting a disciplined and inspiring tone for the day. Moderated by Aakash Bhabad, the launch brought together authors from diverse backgrounds and geographies, reflecting the inclusive spirit of the initiative. Immediately following the launch, the event transitioned into an extraordinary 14-hour-long continuous author interview marathon, conducted seamlessly without any interruption—a rare feat in the global literary space.
The entire initiative was conceptualized, hosted, and moderated by Aakash Bhabad, an International Authors’ Success Coach, publisher, and multiple world record holder. His sustained engagement for 14 consecutive hours demonstrated exceptional leadership, stamina, and unwavering respect for authors and their journeys. The flawless execution of both segments highlighted meticulous planning and a strong vision to elevate Indian authors on a global platform.
The world record was achieved with the participation of distinguished authors including Mr. Sushil Grover, Herdiana Dewi Nurfika, Vandana Keswani, Mr. Rudi Salam Sinulinga, Mr. Deepankar Ramteke, Prof. (Dr.) Hardeep Singh, CA Renuka Rao Taklikar, Mr. Manish Taklikar, Dr. Chayanika Singh, Geeta Dham, Amb. H. E. Dr. Srividhya Sukumar, Mr. Vikas Paul, Dr. Anjum Qureshi, Mrs. Shraddha Chirag Bhatt, Trupti Bhatt, Anand Shinde, Preeti Saraswat, Dr. Shubha Mukherjee, Mr. Abdul Razak Naidu, Mr. Yatindra Nadkarni, Prof. Dr. Pramod Kumar Rajput, Prof. Rachana Chakraborty, Prof. Dr. Betty Speaks, Abha Saxena, Prof. Priyanka Verma, Prof. Dr. Subodh Bhatnagar, Saurav Kumar, and Dr. Harvandan Kaur Bedi.
Representing fields such as education, leadership, health, entrepreneurship, personal development, social awareness, and nation-building, these authors demonstrated how literature goes beyond storytelling to become a tool for transformation. Through their books and lived experiences, they highlighted the critical role authors play in shaping informed citizens, ethical leadership, and progressive societal thinking.
Unlike conventional record attempts that focus on individual achievement, The Grand Authors Marathon emphasized collective contribution and collaborative impact. The initiative reinforced the belief that responsible storytelling and shared wisdom can create meaningful change at both individual and national levels. It positioned authors not merely as writers, but as custodians of knowledge and drivers of India’s evolving intellectual ecosystem.
With the successful completion of their 12th World Record, ABCD International Family and Bhabad International Publication have further established themselves as transformative platforms in the literary and knowledge-sharing domain. Under the leadership of Aakash Bhabad, these organizations continue to bridge authors, readers, and society—turning books into movements and ideas into instruments of long-term national development.
The Grand Authors Marathon now stands as a powerful symbol of how literature, leadership, and collective vision can converge to create lasting impact, reinforcing India’s identity as a growing, knowledge-driven nation on the global stage.
