A powerful new work titled Those 90 Days: The Goodbye That Became a Beginning by Deepak Kumar has been released, offering a rare and deeply reflective exploration of professional endings and personal reinvention.
Unlike most leadership or career books that focus on success stories and beginnings, Those 90 Days turns the spotlight on an often-ignored phase of professional life—the final days within an organization. Drawing from lived experience, the author narrates how unexpected exits, silence from leadership, and moments of betrayal can become catalysts for clarity, dignity, and transformation.
Blending creative nonfiction with practical insight, the book traces a ninety-day journey marked by difficult conversations, quiet resilience, and conscious choices. It presents a compelling perspective on how integrity, emotional intelligence, and composure during times of uncertainty can define one’s true legacy far more than titles or designations.
The book features a foreword by Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai, renowned author of Corporate Chanakya, and includes reflections from global leaders and industry experts, adding depth and credibility to its central message. Structured across three acts—breakdown, rebuilding, and exit—the narrative resonates strongly with professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating change in the modern workplace.
Those 90 Days is not a story of resentment or retaliation. Instead, it is a story of renewal—of choosing grace over bitterness and purpose over ego. The concluding sections offer readers a thoughtful “exit playbook,” making the book both introspective and actionable.
This release stands out as a timely and relevant contribution to leadership literature, especially in an era where career uncertainty is increasingly common. It reminds readers that even goodbyes can be powerful beginnings—and that how one exits often speaks louder than how one enters.
