Rashmi Bansal is a writer, entrepreneur and youth expert.She is the author of two bestselling books on entrepreneurship. So I was looking forward to reading it.
To be honest, getting a root canal treatment from dentist is less painful than reading this book. It's like a boring collection of case studies of brilliant entrepreneurs of India who are the alumnus of IIM A. There is no speck of doubt that these brave people did an extraordinary job in their fields; and there is no speck of doubt that the author did an extraordinary job in copying and pasting the statistics, case studies of these entrepreneurs.
It takes a skilful wits to make inspiring stories presented in such a way that even a 10th grade student could compare his own writing style with this book's laboriously boring, mechanical style; and therefore feel relatively good about himself. If I could turn back time, I would want to read every single one of these brilliant stories again but not from this author. Never!
Feel sad for those entrepreneurs, whose stories could have been the cult motivator for our generation but could not reach its true potential because of dry, unarticulated, clandestine flow of author's thought.
I guess this book cannot even qualify as a promotional brochure for IIM-A . The book is poorly written, with no consistency in writing styles or language(all of these are bad though) and does not even provide motivation at all. I think very motivated people can actually run away from becoming entrepreneurs by reading this book .
I wonder how this book became a best seller. It is monotonous and mundane. I liked the idea of sharing successful stories and inspiring people.However, the execution is so poor that I struggled to finish it. Poorly written, it didn't inspire or motivate me at all.
I would never recommend it to anyone.
