His consumer insights research has been used by the world's leading healthcare organizations, including Novartis, Pfizer, Kaiser Permanente, and Novo Nordisk, and he specializes in teaching disruptive thinking within highly regulated environments. A 3-time WSJ bestselling author of eleven books, including the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller Non-Obvious Megatrends, Rohit has keynoted events in 32 countries and teaches at Georgetown University. He loves the Olympics and actively hates cauliflower.

Taking a global view, the book brings readers on a journey from the robotics labs of Japan to a tiny Dutch city using data to revolutionize breast cancer treatment.
