In today’s digital world, the word influencer is closely associated with social media personalities. But throughout history, influence has taken a much wider and deeper form.

The Influencers challenges the conventional idea that only people can be influencers. It explores fourteen inanimate objects and everyday commodities that have quietly shaped human civilisation across generations.

These familiar things surround us in our daily lives, yet their origins, journeys and historical legacies often remain unexplored. The book traces their beginnings, evolution and remarkable impact, revealing how ordinary commodities became powerful forces of change.

By looking at history through the objects we often take for granted, The Influencers offers readers a fresh perspective on the forces that have shaped human life.

The book is available on Amazon and Flipkart.
