Men of Steel

Two days ago while I was travelling in train back to Kgp I read this book "Men of steel". It’s the most simplest and highly interesting book that I have read in recent times. This is a book written by Mr Vir Sanghvi. He is considered as the best know Indian journalist. This book consists of detailed profiles of some of the highly  successful business men of India like Ratan Tata, Nandan Nilekani, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Azim Premji and many more.

One significant difference between most of other books and this is, Sanghvi had accumulated all the personal interviews which he has taken for the Hindustan times into one place. In none of the profile sanghvi talks about the business world or the fancy magic numbers concerned to modern business development. He mostly focuses on the unseen personal  lives of those big shots. He mostly wrote about each persons background, their early beginning, their set backs, how they fought with their problems in life and reached to the position where they are today.

I should say that this is not just a book with information, I would rather say it’s a book with lot of inspiration.  I would recommend this book to all those who are looking to do something big in life, to all those young minds who are aspiring to become the next generation entrepreneurs.

I am just copying here two of the quotes from the book:

• Subhash Chandra - Chairman ZEE telefilms and essel group

"I am an entrepreneur. I know that I can create something from nothing".

• Vijay Mallya - Chairman UB group

"I don’t want to be Richard Branson. I want to be Vijay Mallya".

I have another book in hand "LOOSE- The future of business is letting go" by Martin Thomas. I will write more about it as soon as I finish it.

Ryagz..
