The biography, driven passionately by Ms. Geetanjali Panse, shares Mr. Puranik's story of innovation, resilience, and leadership with a wider audience.
In response to increasing interest, the biography has now been translated into Marathi by Mr. Prasanna Pethe, allowing Marathi-speaking readers to experience the same depth of inspiration. The Marathi edition was released in an elegant ceremony. Special recognition was given to the chief guest at the event, Mr. Shrikant Nana Bapat—a dear friend of Mr. Puranik for over 60 years and a successful industrialist in his own right. The stage was also graced by those who were instrumental in bringing the book to life, including Mr. Pushkar Aurangabadkar (author of the original book), Mr. Prasanna Pethe (translator of the Marathi edition), and Ms. Geetanjali Panse (the driving force behind the biography project), and Mr. Shubham Panse, who captured the striking photographs featured on the front and back cover.
The event was moderated by popular Marathi anchor Mr. Milind Kulkarni, who brought a sense of pride and camaraderie to the proceedings.

With deep-rooted values in integrity, financial prudence, and human dignity, Mr. Puranik has built WOM into a debt-free, globally respected organization known for its high standards of excellence and resilience against industry challenges.
The book highlights Mr. Sudhir Puranik's technical brilliance in metallurgy and engineering, his dedication to innovation, and his unique leadership style. WOM's resilience during industry downturns and its portfolio of flagship products, including the Magnum Dual Seal Gate Valve, Magnum Fail Safe Gate Valve, Subsea Intervention System, and Blow Out Preventers, have established the company's credibility globally. Recently, WOM's new Magnum SP Gate Valve for the fracking industry has been a breakthrough, attracting international attention for its durability and performance.
