Japan-Based Pro Ashutosh Singh Set to Release Debut Book  ‘Where Is the Spoon?’ on Project Management

Tokyo, Japan – A Japan-based Indian professional with about two decades of global project leadership experience is set to enter the publishing space with a book that challenges how projects are managed in real life. Where is the Spoon? – Project Management Basics, authored by Ashutosh Singh, is scheduled for release soon, with pre-orders now available on Amazon in Kindle edition.

Positioned as an execution-first guide rather than a theory-heavy textbook, Where is the Spoon? opens with a simple yet striking idea: most projects do not fail because of complexity or lack of intelligence, but because basic disciplines are ignored at critical moments. From product launches and client deliveries to leadership transitions, Singh argues that clarity, preparation, ownership and consistency are often missing when they matter the most.

The book traces this philosophy back to a childhood incident that evolves into a professional metaphor, gradually building into what Singh calls the Ashutosh Methodology—a practical execution model shaped by more than 20 years of hands-on project delivery across Japan and India.

The methodology blends Japanese discipline, known for structure, precision and responsibility, with Indian adaptability, marked by agility, resilience and resourcefulness, creating a framework suited for today’s multicultural and high-pressure work environments.

Ashutosh Singh, who is based in Japan near Mount Fuji, is an award-winning leader in project management, organizational transformation and wellness innovation. Over his international career spanning automotive, IT, fintech, AI and digital sectors, he has led complex global programs while mentoring professionals and organizations toward execution excellence.

He is also known for his work beyond corporate projects, having founded the Patanjali Japan Foundation to promote holistic wellness and sustainable living, and the Japan Yogasana Sports Federation to advance Yogasana as a competitive sport and cultural bridge.

Throughout the book, Singh interweaves professional insights with real delivery challenges, offering readers practical routines and tools such as the 7K Project Charter, decision logs, stakeholder alignment rhythms, and recovery techniques for struggling projects. Rather than focusing on certifications, the narrative emphasizes habits and clarity that help professionals lead with calm confidence under pressure.

Targeted at new project managers, team leaders, MBA students, engineers moving into leadership roles and professionals working with global teams, Where is the Spoon? promises a complete journey from project chaos to structured delivery. It is the first volume in a planned three-book series that will later explore case studies and advanced execution tools.

More than a standalone publication, the book is part of Singh’s larger mission to build reliable professionals and zero-stress, high-clarity work cultures across organizations. Notably, all author proceeds from the book will be dedicated to initiatives supporting education, health and sports.

With pre-orders now live on Amazon ahead of its official release, Where is the Spoon? positions itself as a timely reminder that in a world full of frameworks and management buzzwords, disciplined execution and clear thinking remain the true drivers of results—one project at a time.
