Backed by the CIIE.CO at IIM Ahmedabad, the book brings together the knowledge and insights from the various contributors of the book , after a lecture series and various interviews conducted by the authors. The foreward by Mr. NR Narayana Murthy is so on point. He writes 00down his journey from being a hardcore socialist-leftist to a compassionate capitalist. His logical reasons for his change of heart and some strong and stern advice for the entrepreneurs.
The book is divided into 10 chapters , about the startup’s journey’s , from the Before the startup to the highly sought out “exit”. According to the author’s it is ideal if the book is read chronologically but each chapter is self contained and may be read on its own. Each chapter also has a summary at the end of it , with the important points pointed out.
