INTERVIEW

Anshul Sharma: “Power of 60 Seconds” is such a profound title. Where did the idea of anchoring an entire book in a single minute come from?

Dimple Singh:

It came to me in the quiet, not in the noise. Over the years, I noticed that the most pivotal moments of my life weren’t wrapped in grand gestures, they were tucked into pauses. A decision I made while standing alone on a balcony, a moment of forgiveness that softened a wound, an idea that arrived like a whisper. None of these took more than a minute, yet they changed everything. I realised we don’t need to wait for a new year or a perfect moment; transformation can begin in sixty small seconds. This book was born from that truth, and for those who wish to experience it more deeply, every page is an invitation to step into that minute with me.

Anshul Sharma: Each chapter in your book is just one minute long in essence, how did you decide on this structure?

Dimple Singh:

Because life is already heavy enough. I didn’t want the book to be another weight on someone’s shelf or mind. I wanted it to feel like a breath—short, yet able to fill the whole body with something vital. Every chapter is a moment you can hold in your palm. You don’t have to rush through all sixty. In fact, I’d rather you didn’t. Let each one sit with you, maybe over your morning chai or in the last light of the day. Like a single minute in life, a single insight can shift your course. That’s the rhythm I wanted this book to have small in size, immense in depth.

Anshul Sharma: You’ve spent decades in leadership boardrooms, strategy, corporate travel. What inspired this turn inward, and then outward through writing?

Dimple Singh:

Because no matter how far I travelled in business, I realised the most important journeys were happening quietly within me. In the middle of conference calls and airport lounges, I’d find myself watching people, how they made decisions, how they held joy, how they carried pain. I began capturing these reflections in small notes on social media, not for the world but for myself. And yet, people responded. They told me those words found them at the right time. That’s when I knew: the thoughts I kept tucking away in the margins needed their own space. This book is not written by a corporate leader, it’s written by a human being who has been learning, stumbling, and growing like everyone else.

Anshul Sharma: Your book seems to carry a spiritual undertone without being prescriptive. Was that intentional?

Dimple Singh:

Absolutely. I believe spirituality isn’t about rules, it’s about awareness. It’s the art of noticing the sound of your own breath, or the sunlight moving across your desk. I draw deeply from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and the Bhagavad Gita, but I don’t want to tell you what to believe. I want to create space for you to hear your own truth. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can offer a person isn’t an answer—it’s a question that arrives exactly when they need it. That’s the heart of Power of 60 Seconds.

Anshul Sharma: What do you hope a reader walks away with after reading Power of 60 Seconds?

Dimple Singh:

I hope they walk away lighter. I hope they realise they don’t have to change their whole life in one sweeping move. Sometimes it starts with taking one deep breath, making one phone call, or forgiving one person including yourself. If this book can help even one reader find a thread of courage, a drop of peace, or the stillness to hear their own voice, then those 60 seconds have already worked their magic.

Anshul Sharma: You mention grief, reinvention, and even fatherhood in your bio. How much of your own life shaped this book?

Dimple Singh:

Every single page carries my fingerprints. I’ve written from moments of celebration and from nights when I wasn’t sure how I’d make it through. Being a son taught me roots, being a father taught me legacy, leadership taught me responsibility but heartbreak taught me humility, and healing taught me grace. This is not a book of theories. It’s a book of lived minutes some difficult, some beautiful, all real.

Anshul Sharma: What’s your personal 60-second ritual that you turn to when life feels overwhelming?

Dimple Singh:

I close my eyes, I breathe in slowly, and I ask one question: “What truly matters right now?” It sounds simple, but in that minute the noise begins to fall away, and I see the next step more clearly.

Anshul Sharma: As a debut author who will be 60, what message would you give to those who think it’s too late to begin something new?

Dimple Singh:

It’s never too late. The minute you decide, the minute you begin, that’s your starting line. The past is already behind you, and the future doesn’t exist yet. All we have is this moment, and it’s enough. I’m living proof that you can still plant a seed at 60 and watch it bloom.

Final Note

In a culture that glorifies the rush, Dimple Singh offers a quiet counterpoint—a reminder that life’s most profound shifts don’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes, they unfold in a single minute. Power of 60 Seconds isn’t just a book; it’s a companion for those fleeting, sacred pauses when the noise fades and the truth steps forward. Keep it close. One day, when the right sixty seconds arrive, you might just find it open in your hands and your life ready for its next chapter.

“Life doesn’t change in years. It changes in minutes. Sometimes, just one.”
