The Start
Switch
Anil’s first book, The Start Switch, explores what it really takes to begin meaningful change—not just in work, but in life. It introduces the five-phase Switch Curve: Drift, Bend, Switch, Stack, Breakthrough, and shows how small, consistent actions compound into breakthroughs that last.
Through research and lived experience, the book challenges the myth of motivation and replaces it with a framework for momentum. It helps readers move from overthinking to action, and from distraction to measurable progress.
