<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-size: 16.0pt;">It’s a book
written by an IIM-A (Indian Institute Of Management) Alumni, about
IIM-A Alumni who are entrepreneurs, published by CIIE in IIM-A. The
fact that the book is focused on IIM-A alumni, is probably its strength
and weakness. The book gives us a peek into the minds and lives of some
truly exceptional first generation (mostly) Indian entrepreneurs, each one an
IIM-A alumni. The fact that it focuses on one institute graduates should
have made the difficult decision of whom to include and whom not to
include, a bit easier for the author. But this has also restricted the
inclusion of various other entrepreneurs who might have had a different story
to tell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-size: 16.0pt;">After reading
halfway this book you feel like you are reading the same thing over and over
again. The author goes out of the way to emphasize that almost every individual
portrayed in the book is a first gen entrepreneur coming from a middle
class family. Some of the recurring themes in the all the stories are
“Don’t chase money, enjoy the work, money will come”, “When the company is new
it’s almost zero holiday work”, “Entrepreneurs have a heavily unbalanced
family life and have to sacrifice a lot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-size: 16.0pt;">Except for some
jargon that is thrown in, which might need most of us who are not MBA grads to
refer online, the book is a light read. The way the book is organized and
typeset is another feather in the hat of the publisher. The edition I got had a
witty title, nice photograph, a small summary, and a mini prologue preceding
every interview. Each interview is followed by some Advice from
the interviewee meant for young entrepreneurs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The entrepreneurs in this book have been classified into three categories:
The Believers, The Alternate Vision and The Opportunists. The Believers – as
the name suggests, knew that entrepreneurship was their<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><em><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #111111; font-family: "inherit","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Final Calling</span></em><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">and hence plunged right into action as soon as they got their
chance i.e. just as they graduated from IIM-A or after working for a couple of
years. In the second category were The Opportunists – they were the ones who

opportunity, they not only seized it but also capitalized on it. The third
category was the one with The Alternate Vision – these were entrepreneurs who
not only explored the financial arena but also aimed for social development.
The Believers held on with their belief until they succeeded, The Opportunists
proved that entrepreneurial mind set could be developed if one had the right
inclination towards it while ones with The Alternate Vision used their
creativeness on a social platform.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The author has followed a very interesting format for each of
the 25 stories – each of them kick start with an introduction to the
entrepreneur, their background, their business arena followed by their story of
success & the challenges that they faced. The author then has a
conversation with the entrepreneur after which each entrepreneur chips in a
word of advice for the budding entrepreneurs. A point worth noting here is that
the author has covered a wide of range of business arenas – from education,
engineering, agriculture, hotels, business process outsourcing, investment
banking, clinical research and a lot more. Also, as opposed to popular belief,
the individuals covered in this book are not just the youth but include
graduates from the 70s and 80s. This is an interesting point as it goes on to
prove that there is really no age or a fixed business arena to start afresh
& plunge into entrepreneurship, if you have the passion. Needless to say,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><em><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #111111; font-family: "inherit","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">SHSF</span></em><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">is a work of extensive research and filled with practical wisdom

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">While the read provides a lot of strategies, the one fact the
author brings out straight is that there is no consistent formula for success.
The only way to move ahead is to learn from one’s own mistakes and have a
staunch belief in one’s ideas. Also, while persevering to prove yourself, one
must also keep their options open and learn to acknowledge every opportunity as
it knocks your door. The most inspiring & optimistic story for me was that

a motivating read that encompasses an array of individuals who come from
different backgrounds and have different interests but have one thing in common
– determination and commitment to their beliefs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Overall, this is a
well-structured book with easy language and compact format but after a certain
point the read tends to get monotonous. However, it is one of those tell-all
reads that can be termed as the “book of facts” on Entrepreneurship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
