Unwrapped Wishes

What does it take to transform a dream into reality-even when you have no capital or business background and the odds are stacked against you?

Unwrapped Wishes is the riveting true story of how a retired Army colonel and his three determined sons defied convention to create Amchem. This company has become synonymous with excellence in solvent-free polyurethane coatings. Despite operating within a niche market, Amchem stands tall among global leaders, celebrated not for its size but for its unrivaled quality, innovative technologies, and relentless commitment to excellence.

In this inspiring memoir, you'll journey alongside Colonel Mann, a decorated Indian Army veteran who dared to chase a lifelong entrepreneurial dream after retiring under unexpected circumstances. At the age of 47, he uprooted his family and plunged into the business world in bustling New Delhi with nothing but guts and vision. Joined by his sons Raj, Deepender, and the narrator, this formidable team embarked on a path filled with uncertainty, risk, and the burning desire to prove that success isn't reserved for the privileged few.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a dreamer determined to leave your mark, or someone searching for a powerful narrative proving "it can be done," Unwrapped Wishes offers a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence. Let this remarkable story light the spark within you to take that plunge and transform your aspirations into a living legacy.

But Unwrapped Wishes is more than just a business memoir. In a compelling annexure, the author steps beyond his personal journey to confront the pressing issues shaping our society today. Drawing on vivid allegories-like "The Emperor's New Clothes," for example-he examines how pride, deception, and institutional complacency have warped our political, economic, and social landscapes.
