We’re excited to announce the release of this new book:
Silver Lining: Overcoming Adversity to Build NephroPlus- India’s Largest Dialysis Provider (author: Kamal Shah)
Kamal D Shah takes readers on his journey from a diagnosis of atypical HUS and kidney failure to co-founding NephroPlus which grew to become not only India’s largest dialysis centre network but expanded to over 320 dialysis centres across 4 nations.
This book is an inspiring and unique mix of entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional achievement combined with the challenges of living with aHUS, such as an unsuccessful kidney transplant and knowledge built upon more than two decades of Kamal’s experiences as a dialysis patient himself.
As one of the world’s largest sites for readers and book recommendations, GoodReads states about ‘Silver Linings’,
“This is a unique business memoir, with a strong, moving touch of the deeply personal. Kamal writes with raw honesty about pain and fear and the darker side of healthcare in India. Yet this is also a story of faith, of grit and determination and, ultimately, of success.”
Available to order now on Amazon (India) in both Kindle and hardcover format, also available as a Kindle format in the USA/ worldwide on Amazon. The publication date for Silver Lining: Overcoming Adversity to Build NephroPlus- India’s Largest Dialysis Provider is set for 22 May 2023.
