This book was an easy read, and it was well worth it. I aspire to one day become an entrepreneur, and this book gave me ideas and advice that had never crossed my mind before. The chapters are glimpses but pack a punch with invaluable insight for aspiring entrepreneurs. It taught me a lot and at the same time, it wasn't the kind of motivational book that said anything was possible as long as you believed, but anything was definitely possible if you had the right mix of hard work, patience, passion and talent.

The book contains stories behind big brands like Marico, Dabar, Keventers, Berger Paints, Select Group, Max Group, Luxor and many others, which are actually family owned businesses. I found the book very inspiring and gripping from beginning to the end.  I highly recommend it to anyone interested in starting their own business one day, as it could very teach you to be more successful than you could have ever been.
