Stories that move people. Ideas that change them. Work that lasts.
From the boardroom to the big screen — building a body of work that inspires, entertains, and endures.
I'm Mak Singh — British Powerlifting Champion, Bollywood actor, city councillor, business consultant, author, and filmmaker. Not in spite of each other. Because of each other.
My story started on a powerlifting platform in 1995. It ran through the film sets of Bollywood in 1998, through council chambers and boardrooms, through years of coaching people to close the gap between where they are and where they're capable of going. Now it's running through the pages of my books and the scripts I'm taking to market — stories built to inspire, entertain, and leave a mark.
The common thread across all of it? A belief that greatness isn't given. It's earned. And that the right story, told at the right moment, can change everything.

About
Most people find one lane and stay in it. I've always believed that the most interesting work happens at the intersection of worlds — and I've spent my career proving it.
I'm Mak Singh. I won the British Powerlifting Championships in 1995 — not just as an athlete, but as proof of something I've carried ever since: that discipline, preparation, and an absolute refusal to accept your limits will take you further than talent alone ever will. Three years later, I was in Bollywood. A national champion turned actor, finding a completely different kind of stage.
That combination — physical dedication, performance, public life — became the foundation for everything that followed. Sales leadership. A seat as a city councillor. Years coaching individuals and organisations to find their own version of what I found on that platform. And now, a growing body of work as an author, screenwriter, and creative director building stories for a global audience.
Competed at the highest level of the sport and won. The discipline, mental fortitude, and identity built here never left — they just found new arenas.
From powerlifting to the film industry — stepping in front of the camera and discovering a world that would eventually pull me back, this time as a writer and director.
Built and led high-performing sales teams. Learned what actually drives human behaviour — not theory, practice.
Elected to serve my community. Learned to listen at scale, make decisions under pressure, and fight for what matters.
Helped organisations grow and individuals unlock potential they didn't know they had. That work continues today.
Building a portfolio of books and films — taking stories to market that are meant to inspire, entertain, and endure on a global stage.
"A powerlifter doesn't wait to feel ready. An actor doesn't wait for a perfect script. A writer doesn't wait for the right moment. You train, you show up, and you do the work. That's the whole secret."
Everything I've done — in sport, in public service, in business, in storytelling — has come back to that same principle. Potential is everywhere. Execution is rare. The gap between them is where I do my best work.
The same mindset that wins championships writes novels and builds businesses. I've never separated them.
Everything I write about — resilience, leadership, human potential — I've lived. No theory without practice.
From Bollywood to British politics to international storytelling — the goal has always been to reach people everywhere.
Books
I write the books I wish I'd had — ones that push you forward, pull you into another world, or make you see your own differently. Each title here comes from a place of lived experience and genuine craft.
Personal development
Unlock Your Greatness is a practical, honest guide for anyone who knows they're capable of more but can't quite bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Drawing on years of leadership, public service, and coaching, Mak Singh strips away the noise and gets to what actually works — not motivation hacks, but lasting transformation.
Crime fiction
A gripping crime drama set in a world where ambition and corruption are two sides of the same coin. When a high-profile murder exposes the fault lines running beneath a seemingly prosperous city, the investigation pulls one detective into a web of loyalty, silence, and carefully hidden truth.
Fiction
A story of love across divided worlds — bold, romantic, and rooted in the tensions that make connection both difficult and essential.
Fiction
A story about the lines we draw — between people, beliefs, and versions of ourselves — and what happens when those lines finally break.
Raj and Julie and Divisions were originally published under the pen name Jordan E. Quinn. Both titles are being reissued under my real name, Mak Singh, in the coming weeks. Same books. Same stories. Just owned fully now.
Film & Scripts
I've spent years writing stories for the page. Now I'm taking them to the screen. Both scripts below are complete, market-ready, and actively seeking the right production partners to bring them to life.
Inspector Sharma is a tightly plotted crime thriller built around a detective whose moral compass is both his greatest strength and his greatest liability. Set against a city that rewards silence and punishes honesty, the story follows Sharma as he unravels a case that goes far deeper — and far closer to home — than anything he was prepared for. The script blends procedural tension with genuine human drama, and offers a lead character with the complexity and depth that serious actors look for.
God Does Exist is a bold, quietly powerful film about faith, doubt, and the moments that make us question everything we thought we knew. It follows one man's journey through grief, loss of belief, and an event that refuses to be explained. The film doesn't preach and it doesn't settle for easy answers — it trusts the audience to sit with the questions that great cinema should ask.
Both scripts are complete and available to producers, directors, and production companies who are serious about bringing compelling, character-driven stories to screen. I'm open to co-production, development partnerships, and representation conversations.
Work With Me
I work with people who are serious about growth — organisations that want to perform better, individuals who want to lead better, and creative projects that need a steady, experienced hand. Everything I offer is built on real-world experience, not borrowed frameworks.
Strategy, growth, sales performance, and organisational development. I work with businesses at inflection points — the moments where the right decision changes everything.
For founders, senior leaders, and teams ready to scale.
One-to-one coaching for leaders who want to perform at their ceiling, not just their average. We'll work on mindset, decision-making, presence, and what's actually holding you back.
For executives, entrepreneurs, and high-achievers.
Working with filmmakers, writers, and producers on scripts, story development, and bringing ambitious creative projects to market. Hands-on, honest, and built for the long game.
For producers, directors, and creative teams.
Keynotes and workshops on leadership, resilience, personal development, and the power of storytelling in business. Delivered with honesty, warmth, and no filler.
For conferences, companies, and organisations.
Before anything else, we talk. I want to understand what you're actually dealing with — not just what you think you need. No charge, no pressure.
Most of the best work happens before a single strategy is written. I'll help you see where you actually are and where you genuinely want to go.
No templates. No one-size-fits-all programmes. Every engagement is built around what you need — structured for results, not for appearances.
The best work compounds. I stay engaged — checking in, adjusting, and holding you accountable — so momentum doesn't die after the first session.
"I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you build something that actually works — and to be honest with you when something isn't."
If you're an organisation looking for a consultant with genuine edge, an individual ready to invest in yourself, or a creative partner who wants a serious collaborator — I'd love to hear from you. Let's have an initial conversation and see where it goes.
