The distinguished guests who were present included Sheikh Ali Bin Abdullah Al Mualla, Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Qasimi, His Excellency Mohamed Abdulla Mohamed Al Marzooqi, and Dr. Gharib Al-Habsi, who added flavor and fervor to the event. In that atmosphere of excellence and acclamation, Aadhavan launched his book to inspire the future leaders and changemakers. Start Early and Make It Big is a solution to procrastination - no more - a book where Aadhavan's entrepreneurial expedition combines with strategic pointers for the youth to chart a course of success and meaning. The founder of Studywise (a patented EdTech platform connecting students with industry professionals globally) has already shown that age is no threshold to making a real difference. 'This book isn't a memoir; it's a how-to: The lessons that I've learned are all available to you through personal inquiry,' Aadhavan remarked as he spoke at the ceremony, explaining the inspiration for his first book. 'When faced with challenges, those who are resilient tend to persevere.' The book delivers practical life skills and mindset tools designed specifically for teens and young adults on their academic and professional journeys. Covering everything from mastering mediocrity through establishing early and significant impact to the leadership gaps we urgently need to fill, Start Early and Make It Big brings global urgency home to us all. Release is expected in August 2025 digitally worldwide (via various e-publishers). Print editions will initiate in Asia and the Middle East, giving readers who have closely followed Aadhavan's journey access to the title. Aadhavan Karthikaiselvam's journey as a leader of rising youth has been noteworthy, and the Golden Tree Awards 2025 was a perfect podium for his newest achievement. As a changemaker, speaker, and author today, Aadhavan embodies the dreams of a new generation prepared to rock the world with vision and strength. To date, the platform has received 10,000+ nominations from 100+ countries, making it a truly international stage that honours individuals, organisations, and brands that set new benchmarks of success.
