Aakash Bhabad Creates 12th World Record with The Grand Authors Marathon, Showcasing Authors’ Role in India’s Growth
Mumbai:
Aakash Bhabad, International Authors’ Success Coach, publisher, and founder of ABCD International Family and Bhabad International Publication, has once again created history by achieving his 12th World Record through a landmark literary initiative titled The Grand Authors Marathon. The record-setting event emerged as a powerful platform that highlighted the significant role authors play in shaping India’s intellectual, social, and cultural growth.
Conceptualized as a high-discipline, purpose-driven literary movement, The Grand Authors Marathon was designed to go beyond conventional literary events. The initiative began with a professionally conducted virtual book launch ceremony, moderated by Aakash Bhabad himself. The launch brought together authors, readers, and thought leaders on a common platform, setting a strong foundation focused on knowledge-sharing, leadership, and nation-building through literature.
Following the book launch, the event transitioned into an unprecedented 14-hour-long continuous author interview marathon, conducted seamlessly without any interruption. Throughout the marathon, Aakash Bhabad anchored and moderated every session, engaging authors back-to-back while documenting their personal journeys, books, and broader visions for society. The consistency, stamina, and focus demonstrated during the marathon established a new benchmark within the literary and publishing ecosystem.
The world record was achieved with the participation of a distinguished group of authors from India and abroad, representing diverse professional backgrounds and global perspectives. The participating authors included 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.
Authors from domains such as education, leadership, health, finance, entrepreneurship, personal development, and social awareness came together to demonstrate how books act as tools of transformation. Through their insights and lived experiences, the authors showcased how literature influences informed decision-making, ethical leadership, and social responsibility. Their collective participation reinforced the belief that authors are not merely storytellers, but key contributors to India’s long-term growth and intellectual capital.
Unlike traditional record attempts that focus on individual achievement, The Grand Authors Marathon emphasized collective intellectual contribution and collaboration. The initiative celebrated sustained dialogue, discipline, and unity of purpose, positioning authors as vital stakeholders in India’s emerging knowledge-driven economy.
Under the leadership of Aakash Bhabad, ABCD International Family and Bhabad International Publication have consistently transformed literature into impactful movements. With the successful completion of this 12th World Record, the organizations have further strengthened their reputation as platforms that empower authors, enrich readers’ lives, and elevate literature as a force for national development.
The Grand Authors Marathon now stands as a defining milestone in India’s literary landscape—symbolizing how visionary leadership, collective effort, and purposeful storytelling can turn books into bridges that connect ideas, people, and progress in a rapidly evolving nation.
