The book is very repetitive and quite boring from the second half. You start to predict things and they fall in place.

The collection of business stories style seems to be inspired by [b:Business Adventures|4191136|Business Adventures|John Brooks|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405094011s/4191136.jpg|4238490], which presented 12 very different stories of both successes and failures. The diversity is the key. Almost all the stories presented here falls into the "middle class boy gets into IIMA, finds a co-founder from campus, struggles for a few years and makes it big" category. There might be interesting stories behind the businesses, but the author fails to capture them.

A great amalgamation of inspiring stories of 25 IIMA entrepreneurs. Everyone had a different background, different goals, different thought process but all of them had a same aspire, to make the difference and Rashmi Bansal has reflected all those very well in this book. We will learn alot from those people experiences.

This book is story of 25 IIM graduate whose life was normal like the other students but they have hunger to become something, the story told not the field you are working is important you can change it if your interest is somewhere else, grades of college matter in job but to build your own empire and own a business or become and entrepreneur, story of grades or marks doesn't matter what you do and your vision matter, if your partner is motivation for you to do something good in life that's and incentive, donot demean someone, work for your dreams to fulfill it, country doesn't matter but what you do matters the most every success has a failure behind it at start. Success come slow , beginners luck is just for few time.
it clearly show us that what u r in past doesn't matter but what u do really matter in life and how you do it is most imp.

All the research and input into writing this book can be felt. This author is one of the best of the newer lot in India. No complains on the language and literature aspect, it felt as if i am actually reading someone who is into writing but as far as the layout of the book is concerned, it was repetitive. And as this book is a collection about different people, nothing can be said about the authenticity of the book. For people who are in a search of some entrepreneurial guidance, this book can inspire; although better books have been written. For people like me, i.e. is the bookworms, we can pass this book!

This book is a clear example of 'how not to write a book'. It does not provide any insight about the people it tries to profile. It is just a waste of time.

I have read a lot about entrepreneurs, and they have all been about foreigners. But I was utterly shocked to read about successful Indian entrepreneurs who had the guts to make it big. Make it to 1000 crore clubs. My God, this was really interesting, and I loved every story. There are titbits of business wisdoms from each of the people featured in the book. Rashmi Bansal has done a fabulous job of writing this book. I recommend this book to all those free spirits who don't want to work in a mundane job.
