Worthless Superpowers: The Fallacy of Moksh represents a deeply personal creative journey for Tandon, shaped by years of observation, introspection, and a continuing curiosity about the human experience.
The book was conceived during the pandemic, a period that prompted Tandon to reflect more deeply on questions surrounding purpose, identity, and the decisions that influence human lives.

Attendees were given the opportunity to interact directly with the author and gain insight into the experiences that inspired his transition from corporate leadership to writing.
Tandon’s professional career spans leadership roles in corporate strategy, infrastructure development, diplomacy, and international affairs. An engineering graduate with advanced business management education from INSEAD, he has contributed to several landmark initiatives throughout his career.
Reflecting on the relationship between his professional experiences and his writing, Tandon noted that despite differences in background and circumstance, people are often connected by shared questions concerning ambition, relationships, identity, and purpose. These observations, gathered through years of work across sectors and geographical regions, helped shape the themes and perspectives presented in the book.
With the release of Worthless Superpowers: The Fallacy of Moksh, Tandon begins a new chapter as an author, inviting readers to undertake a literary journey that encourages introspection while allowing space for personal interpretation.
