Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Acting MD 2 — Everyone Has Ulterior Motives by Vikram Mankal

Some books don’t begin on the first page; they begin in the pause before you open them — in that quiet suspicion that what you’re about to read might just drag you into a world where ambition smells like cologne, betrayal sounds like a sliding boardroom door, and success tastes a little metallic, like fear. The Acting MD 2 made me feel exactly that way. Before I even reached chapter one, I had thi...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

Some books hand you rosy dreams of overnight success. The Hard Thing About Hard Things does the opposite — it kicks down the door, stares you straight in the face, and says, “You want to build something real? Good. Now let’s see if you can survive it.”The first time I picked it up, I expected another glossy Silicon Valley playbook — filled with startup jargon, VC buzzwords, and motivational fluff....

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Battlefield to Boardroom by Dr. Smruti Ranjan Nayak

There are books that teach. Books that preach. And then there are books that awaken. Dr. Smruti Ranjan Nayak’s Battlefield to Boardroom belongs to that rare third category — the kind that doesn’t merely speak to your intellect but reaches deep into your conscience and whispers, “Lead, but with purpose.”I remember pausing midway through the first chapter — somewhere between Krishna’s calm counsel o...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Marwari Mindset by Chetan Murarka

There’s something profoundly beautiful about inherited wisdom — the kind that isn’t written in textbooks but whispered over steaming cups of chai in courtyards fragrant with history. The Marwari Mindset: 10 Proverbs. 10 Stories. 100 Years of Business Wisdom by Chetan Murarka feels like sitting beside an elder who doesn’t just tell you how to do business, but how to live with dignity, discipline, a...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of India Inc’s Greatest Turnarounds by Dev and Pragya Chatterjee

Some books don’t just tell stories — they rebuild faith. India Inc’s Greatest Turnarounds by Dev and Pragya Chatterjee is one such book. It doesn’t arrive with the swagger of a bestseller or the flash of a management manual. It walks in quietly, like a leader who has weathered a storm, sits across your table, and says — “Let me tell you what survival really means.”The Chatterjees, both seasoned ch...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of I Came Upon a Lighthouse by Shantanu Naidu

There are some books you don’t just read — you inhabit them. They unfold like an old photograph album, where every page carries a scent, a story, a heartbeat. I Came Upon a Lighthouse by Shantanu Naidu, with illustrations by Sanjana Desai, is one such book. It’s not a biography, not exactly a memoir, but a feeling — warm, humane, and quietly luminous — much like the man at its center: Ratan Tata.I...

Exploring Gateway to Africa by Prateek Suri A Comprehensive Review by Sameer Gudhate

There are books that talk about business — graphs, goals, growth curves — and then there are books that breathe. Gateway to Africa by Prateek Suri does the latter. It doesn’t read like a management lecture; it feels like a long evening conversation with a friend who’s seen failure up close, tasted dust and triumph, and still believes that tomorrow is worth fighting for.When I first picked it up, I...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Carpenter by Jon Gordon

The first time I cracked open The Carpenter by Jon Gordon, I didn’t expect to be sitting with my coffee and suddenly wondering about the scaffolding of my own life. Not the walls and roofs we so carefully patch and polish for the world to see, but the beams underneath — the ones made of habits, fears, and, sometimes, love. It’s a slim book, deceptively slim, that pretends to be a simple fable but ...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Shadow Strike by Prakash Narayan Shukla

I remember the first time I truly felt the weight of silence — the kind that presses against your chest, makes every whisper feel like a shout, and every shadow a potential conspirator. That’s exactly the feeling Prakash Narayan Shukla conjures in Shadow Strike. From the very first page, I was swept into a world where the most dangerous battles are not fought with guns or bombs, but with subtle gl...

The Perfectionist

A beautiful and ultimately sad story of a chef who lived in the highest realms of grand cooking. One of two books that I have read on the topic - the other being Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. And he took his own life too. I have on occasion entertained this fantasy of having my own restaurant and cooking for a living. Of planning out my dining room, what the menu might look like and th...
