Dr. Sanjay Runwal

Dr. Sanjay Runwal is a distinguished Business Strategist, pioneer of Humanology, and a prolific author dedicated to helping high-achievers bridge the gap between material success and human fulfilment. His work is anchored in the powerful conviction that “a small intent can make a large difference.”

Dr. Runwal’s intellectual authority is built upon a rigorous academic foundation. After a decades-long career in real estate development, he earned a Master’s in Strategic Planning from Edinburgh Business School (UK), followed by a Doctorate and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Business Strategy. His extensive research has resulted in the creation of six distinct Intellectual Properties focused on the Runwal’s Strategic Management Model, providing a roadmap for turning complex concepts into easy to implement frameworks.

As an author, Dr. Runwal has crafted a trilogy of wisdom for the modern professional. His foundational work, How to Live Life? SBOP Living® — For Life After 55/60, introduced the Systematic Blow Out Plan. He followed this with the deeply introspective Thoughtful Reflections for a Meaningful Life, which explores the values required to anchor a life of significance. His latest book, Golden Retirement: Design Your Next Chapter, Beyond the Balance Sheet, serves as the definitive manual for high-achievers to navigate the identity shift of retirement and “refire” their lives with purpose.

A sought-after public speaker and mentor, Dr. Runwal is frequently invited as a Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker for corporate summits, literary festivals, and community functions. He is renowned for his ability to translate strategic business logic into actionable life design, leveraging his Evolved 5Es to inspire audiences towards a Legacy of Impact.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Dr. Runwal is a passionate traveller and an accomplished Hindi poet writing poetry under the Takallus – Kavi Sanjay Bijapuri. Through the Sanjay Runwal Foundation, he continues to support charitable causes and embody his philosophy of Doing Good in Life (DGL), ensuring that his work leaves both a strategic and human legacy.
