This book deals with India’s recent history and charts a nostalgic but turbulent journey through the 80s and 90s that not all may be aware of.

I think there are some fantastic lessons in here that probably anyone in business or who owns a start-up will find useful. Through the author’s personal journey, we are told about an industry body that didn’t just change the IT industry but the global image of India as we know it today.
