From Neha Nagar's debut book to tech leaders and startup founders that saw their careers derailed by personal scandals, YourStory brings you this and other latest developments across sectors.

Finance educator and content creator Neha Nagar has launched her debut book, Simple Money Serious Wealth: How to Turn Ordinary Income into Extraordinary Net Worth, to help readers make informed financial decisions and manage their money better.

Published on October 24, the book sold over 3,000 copies within its first 24 hours, according to a post on her Instagram account. Nagar, who has over a decade of experience in finance and seven years in content creation, says she decided to write the book after recognising that while people have access to financial information, many lack a structured approach to managing their money.

Nagar believes financial literacy in India still faces challenges, including the absence of personal finance education in schools, reluctance to discuss money within households, and the overwhelming amount of information available on social media.

Recognised by Hurun India as the country's most-followed female personal finance influencer in 2025, she wants the book to help readers build financial plans, understand investment options and make decisions suited to their needs. Her goal is to help people realise that financial independence is not just about how much they earn, but how confidently they manage their money.

From India to Silicon Valley, several prominent technology and startup leaders have faced career setbacks following controversies involving personal relationships or workplace conduct. YourStory looks at five such cases, including former Infosys executive Phaneesh Murthy, who was dismissed as iGate CEO in 2013 following an investigation into his relationship with a subordinate, and The Viral Fever (TVF) founder Arunabh Kumar, who stepped down as CEO in 2017 after sexual harassment allegations surfaced.
