INDIA. Today’s image selection comes courtesy of Advent International Operating Partner and Indian Author Shiv Shivakumar, whose worl The CEO Mindset: Developing Leadership Habits and Mental Models for Success is featured as the book of the week at the acclaimed reading lounge in Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru.

A thoughtfully designed space to unwind, read and take a break from the busy terminals

The lounges at Terminals 1 and 2 were unveiled in July by Travel Retail Services (TRS), Lagardère Travel Retail’s Relay franchise partner in India since 2012.

Both lounges operate on a ‘drop-off, pick-up and read’ model, allowing travellers to leave or donate any book, take any book for inflight reading, purchase the book of the week, and enjoy assistance from lounge staff.

The author also highlighted the Flybrary at Bhubaneswar Airport, a unique free library service launched in collaboration with the Bakul Foundation and Airports Authority of India.
