Nitin Dhaboo Bags Excellence Award 2026 from Chetan Bhagat

Nitin Dhaboo, a bestselling author, sales coach and corporate sales leader, received the Excellence Award 2026 in the category of “Distinguished Sales Coach & Bestselling Author of the Year.” The honour was given at the fifth edition of the Book Turner Gala Event Season 5, organised by Teams Applaud at Taj Santacruz, Mumbai.

The award was presented by Chetan Bhagat, the well-known Indian bestselling author. For Dhaboo, it is a significant moment in his work as an author, mentor and sales professional.

Dhaboo has more than twenty years of experience in sales, business development and leadership. He moved from corporate sales roles into writing, coaching and mentoring. The award recognises his work in promoting sales education and encouraging professionals to look at selling more broadly.

About the Book

Dhaboo is the author of the bestselling book “The Life Skill Called Sales - From Playground to Paycheck.” The book treats selling as a life skill that affects everyday communication, relationships, decision-making and personal growth, and not only as a professional function.

It draws on real-life experiences, practical business situations and relatable stories to show how the principles of selling apply outside the corporate world. The book is available on Amazon, Flipkart and Kindle, and has been noted for its practical approach to sales education and personal development.

“Sales is not just about selling products; it is about understanding people, building trust and creating value,” says Nitin Dhaboo.

Hindi Edition Coming Soon

A Hindi translation of the book will be launched soon. It is meant to make the book’s sales lessons, stories and life skills available to more Hindi-speaking readers across India.

SalesCoachND and His Approach to Selling

Through his personal initiative SalesCoachND, Dhaboo shares insights on: • Sales psychology

Customer relationships
Negotiation
Leadership and professional growth

His approach centres on ethical selling, building trust and understanding human behaviour, rather than on transactions alone.

For Dhaboo, the award supports his mission of making sales knowledge accessible to students, aspiring entrepreneurs, working professionals and people from all walks of life.

With this recognition, Dhaboo continues to build his presence as an author, speaker and sales coach. His stated aim is to inspire the next generation of sales professionals and to help people see sales as a skill that can change both their professional and personal lives.
