The biggest disruptions rarely begin with a bang—they begin as invisible fault lines. 

In Fault Lines: Leading Through India’s Era of AI, Platforms, and Reinvention, strategist and advisor Niladri Roy argues that disruption is seldom sudden. Beneath every failed business model, declining market leader or strategic misstep lie hidden structural tensions that quietly accumulate until they reshape entire industries. As India enters a new era defined by AI, digital platforms, public infrastructure and changing consumer behaviour, the ability to anticipate disruption has become a defining leadership capability. 

Drawing on India’s journey from liberalization and digital public infrastructure to platforms and AI, Roy reveals why successful organizations falter despite seeing disruption coming, highlights the warning signals leaders often overlook, and offers a practical framework for navigating change by introducing tools such as: 

  1. Fault Line Fragility Index™, which identifies hidden vulnerabilities before they surface 
  2. Early Signal Radar™, which spots disruption while it is still weak 
  3. Fault Line Disruption Dashboard™, which tracks the forces reshaping the industry 
  4. Fault Line Maturity Model™, which benchmarks resilience in an uncertain world 


Niladri Roy is a leading voice on how organizations survive and thrive in times of disruption. A strategist, educator, and advisor with more than three decades of experience, he has guided CXOs, boards, and leadership teams through the challenges of digital transformation, business model reinvention, and organizational change. 

As Founder of The Digital Academy and Managing Partner at ßmorphosis, he works with enterprises across industries to build future-ready strategies and leadership capabilities. A former faculty member at the Infosys Leadership Institute and a Chartered Accountant, Niladri combines analytical rigour with practical insight drawn from consulting, corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and academia. 

His work explores the intersection of strategy, technology, governance, and leadership, helping organizations identify the hidden fault lines beneath success—and equipping leaders to anticipate disruption before it becomes a crisis.
