The Harvard launch put international attention on 26 leaders featured in LOSD Publishing House’s new coffee table book, creating a platform for wider recognition and future projects.
The event, held at the Science Centre, Harvard University, introduced 26 Game Changers of the Year 2026, a collection edited by Parin Somani, Founder and CEO of LOSD. A red-carpet reception preceded the unveiling and many of the honourees attended in person to mark their inclusion in the publication.
The book’s release also tied into a record-setting collaboration. The 26 contributors were among 1,572 authors who took part in a Guinness World Records achievement for the Most Authors Signing Their Own Books Simultaneously, a milestone LOSD presented as evidence of large-scale cooperation in authorship and knowledge sharing.
LOSD positioned the volume as more than a list of achievements. The collection highlights leaders, innovators, educators and practitioners whose careers the publisher frames as examples of determination, service and influence. Contributions range from policy and governance to medicine, education and the arts.
Contributors named in the publication include H.E. Baron Alec Stern, H.R.H. Prince Ebrahim Sanyang, Cllr Tushar Kumar, Dr William Selvamurthy, Dr T. Rama Rao and Prof. Dr Parin Somani, who offers a piece titled Adversity to Impact: A Journey of Purpose and Global Change. The roster also features figures such as Brijmohan Agrawal, actress Himani Shivpuri, cricketer Ajinkya Rahane, and leaders across science, finance and social sectors including Dr Kenneth Lee, Prof. Matthew Siu Ting Yip, Dr Priyanka Sunder and Dr Salwa Arfaoui.
LOSD framed the volume as part of a broader publishing and leadership agenda. The organisation announced three forthcoming coffee table projects for 2027, Rising Queens: The Icons of 2027; Rising Kings: The Icons of 2027; and The World’s Most Inspiring Leaders 2027, and invited interested parties to contact LOSD at [email protected], noting places are limited.
The Harvard launch therefore served two purposes: it amplified the visibility of the featured individuals and underscored LOSD’s intent to scale similar international initiatives in the year ahead. Attendance by many honourees and the Guinness-linked record strengthened the publisher’s case for collaborative, high-profile releases moving forward.
