dedication at the heart of the book. Among those present in this context were
Mrs. Swarna Kohli, representing the late Mr F. C. Kohli, Mr. LC Singh’s

Their presence added emotional depth to an evening rooted in memory,
reflection and gratitude.
Things We Don’t See traces the journey of a boy from a small village who dared to dream beyond what he could see. From childhood memories shaped by curiosity and wonder to a life that went on to engage with boardrooms and global strategy, the memoir brings together the many layers that defined Mr. Singh’s path. It is a story of questions, setbacks, growth and the quiet evolution of a life that continued to seek something deeper beneath achievement.
Rather
than simply recounting milestones, the book turns inward to explore the unseen
forces that shape a human journey. It reflects on struggle, self-belief and the
deeply personal search for purpose and peace. Through this memoir, Mr. LC Singh
brings together lived experience and introspection, offering readers a
thoughtful reflection on identity, ambition and the truths that often remain unnoticed
even in a life that appears accomplished from the outside.
Speaking
at the launch, Mr. LC Singh said, “I did not write this book simply to
recount my journey. I wrote it to understand it better. Over time, I realised
that life is shaped not only by the moments we celebrate, but also by the many
moments we overlook while living through them. From Banaras to boardrooms and
across the many roles I have inhabited, it was often the quieter spaces in
between, the questions and the reflections, that stayed with me. Through this
book, I wanted to return to those unseen spaces and understand how they quietly
shape who we become.”
The
evening also featured a fireside chat between Mr. LC Singh and Mr. Kiran
Khalap, which opened up the themes of the book further and invited the audience
into a thoughtful conversation on purpose, self-discovery and the quieter
truths that reveal themselves over time. The launch was also livestreamed for
Mr. Singh’s close associates, industry friends and people from different phases
of his life who could not be present at the venue, allowing them to be part of
the occasion from wherever they were.
With
Things We Don’t See, Mr. LC Singh offers readers more than the story of
his life. He offers a reflective and deeply human account of what it means to
dream, to endure, to build and ultimately to look inward. In its honesty and
depth, the memoir leaves readers with a lasting reminder that some of the most
important forces shaping our lives are often the ones we do not immediately
see.
