When most people spend their lives mastering a single craft, there are a few rare individuals who move seamlessly across worlds, leaving behind footprints in every field they touch. Er. Sudhir Kumar Sahu is one such multitalented personality — an engineer trusted with one of India’s greatest water resources, an author who bridges science with mythology, a financial guide whose books are read across continents, and a social servant whose motto has always been “Nation first, followed by self.
On the crack of dawn of 9th October 1965, Er. Sahu was born to Sj. Sarat Kumar Sahu and Smt. Jagyanseni Sahu, Sudhir’s childhood was steeped in discipline, perseverance, and sincerity. These values were not mere words but daily lessons at home, shaping a young mind that looked at the world with both curiosity and responsibility.
From the very beginning, he carried a rare balance — a fascination for science and engineering, and a reverence for culture and tradition. That balance would later define his journey across engineering, literature, finance, and community service. Notwithstanding his success in medical entrance, he preferred to be an engineer and humbly left the medical seat to other aspirant.
Way back in 1994, when he first entered government service, water has been his constant companion. His work in Odisha’s water resource sector had already begun making an impact in irrigation planning, reservoir management, and flood control.
Today, he serves as the Additional Chief Engineer at Hirakud Dam — the world’s longest earthen dam and Asia’s largest artificial lake (743 Sq. Km., as good as Singapore). For millions, Hirakud is not just a dam; it is survival itself. It waters their fields, powers their homes, protects their families from floods, and sustains industries.
But in the era of climate change, this is no easy stewardship. Erratic monsoons, siltation, rising demands from farmers and industries — every season presents new challenges. Under Er. Sahu’s watch, Hirakud has adapted through:
Colleagues admire him not just for his technical insight but for his approachable leadership. “Sudhir Sir,” they say, “is always ready with a solution, whether it is for water management or for the people working around him.”
If engineering represents his logical mind, writing represents his imagination. Er. Sahu’s books are a window into a different side of his personality — one where mythology, history, and ethics are studied not as relics but as living guides.
His acclaimed works, The Portfolio of Mythological Events and The Portfolio of National & International Events, are much more than compilations. They weave together cultural memory with contemporary questions, making ancient wisdom resonate in modern times.
Awards such as the TRI Literary Award, the International Author Excellence Award (Dubai), ANE Awards (Nagpur), Book Channel Literary Awards and the Mega Pen Star Award underline the respect his writing has earned globally. For him, the pen is not a diversion from engineering — it is another tool to shape the society.
In yet another dimension of his life, Er. Sahu has become a trusted guide in financial education. His gift lies in taking the intimidating world of stock markets and explaining it in a way that ordinary readers can understand and use.
With 21 books on stock markets already published internationally, his work has reached audiences across 13 countries including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, Italy, and France. The name of few books are Heiken Ashi Candles, Ichimoku Clouds, Iron Condor & Reverse Iron Condor, Fibonaaci Retracement & Golden Ratio, VWAP & Anchored VWAP and Expounding MACD etc. For thousands of readers, his books have been the first step toward financial independence.
For these contributions, he has been honoured with awards such as: Rashtriya Gaurav Samman, Kalinga Gaurav Samman, Desh Ratne Award, International Grandeur Award, Bharat Pratibha Samman, National Icon Award, World Charity Award for Best Writer & Author and the Excellency Iconic Award etc.
Further, in January 2026, he will receive the Asia International Award for Best Book in Stock Market (Kochi) — a recognition that highlights his growing global influence in finance.
Where engineers build dams and bridges, Er. Sahu builds financial bridges that connect ordinary people with the opportunities of investment and growth.
Yet, what makes him truly admired is not only his success but his spirit of service. He is member of more than 15 professional engineering bodies including Fellow of the Indian Water Resources Society (IWRS) and Fellow of the Indian Association of Hydrologists (IAH). But beyond professional forums, he is a mentor who believes in guiding the younger generation.
As a Rotarian, he works with more than 20 charitable organizations, dedicating his energy to social and cultural causes. His contributions have been recognized by both the Rotary Club, Burla, and cultural platforms like Lok Mahotsav, Burla.
For him, leadership is multidimensional — it means solving problems in the workplace, writing books for readers, and extending a helping hand to communities.
The journey of Er. Sudhir Kumar Sahu shows us that life need not be confined to a single pursuit. He is an engineer who safeguards water resources, an author who preserves culture, a financial educator who empowers investors & traders, and a humanitarian who uplifts the needy.
His story reminds us that:
In a time when specialization often narrows horizons, Er. Sahu’s life offers a different vision — one where excellence is not bound to one path but is pursued across many, with the same dedication and spirit of service.
