The history of true evolution of self in a human being lies in the spiritual meaning and assessment of the journey of life. Awareness and study of one's Divine confrontation with space and time through relationships, experience and study illuminates the path of this growth. Ms Pattanaik's 'The Awakening – A Journey Towards Your Best Self' is a nurtured tome of this core philosophy of existence and continuity.

LORY PATTANAIK
From controlling turbines to curating truths, Lory Pattanaik is a powerhouse of versatility. A former power plant engineer turned HR strategist, entrepreneur, journalist, and author—she carries 16 years of dynamic experience across industries that rarely meet, yet perfectly align in her journey.
She spent over seven years in the heart of industrial operations—from greenfield projects to the commissioning of mega plants—breaking barriers in a male-dominated sector with grit and grace. But it was in 2009, post her engineering and MBA in HR & IBM, that her lifelong affair with words took center stage. Her voice found a home in leading Indian publications like The Times of India, Hindustan Times, Dainik Bhaskar, and Shree Prakashan Journal, where she contributed as a project journalist with depth and purpose.
Today, she stands as the Co-founder of webOdoctor Inc., one of Madhya Pradesh’s top-performing IT and digital strategy firms. With 15 books to her credit—including powerful autobiographies of legends from MP and Chhattisgarh—Lory continues to blend storytelling with soul across genres.
A celebrated blogger, panel moderator, and event content curator, she covers everything from health and lifestyle to education and politics for top Indian brands.
Through every shift in her professional life, Lory has embraced one unshakable belief:
“Whatever role life gives you—own it. Be the best version of you, every single time.”
