Manoj Chenthamarakshan is an educator, author and the founder of The Positive Store, an e-commerce platform formed in 2018 to help
people lead a positive and productive life. At the age of twenty-two, he got a well-paying job and successfully became a graphic designer. He earned his dream bike and lived the lifestyle that he dreamt of. But then came a day when he was invited to a party. He was asked to introduce himself. He was not happy with the title of graphic designer. This incident made him think about his identity. Later, he decided to figure out his passion and purpose. He knew that he couldn't find it by staying on the job. So he decided to quit his job and go on a solo trip to north India. After two years of research and self-exploration, he realized that he was surrounded by great books, such as The Secret, Think and Grow Rich and The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. Everything started connecting when he looked backwards. This awareness helped him to discover NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). He completed the course in Bangalore and worked as a trainer for a year. Knowledge was in abundance, but the results were poor. It took him a few years to realize that knowledge is of no use if it is not practised. He later decided to structure his life and started creating planners, bringing in his accumulated knowledge throughout the years. Thus formed The Positive Store. They have currently sold more than 50,000 products worldwide. During this journey as an entrepreneur, he also found his passion in expressing his ideas through words, which made him write books such as Twenty-Five Small Habits, Fifty-Five Questions to Ask
Yourself and Know Thyself, which are available on Amazon.
