The first thing that came to my mind while reading Self-Made Maverick by Dr. Reza Zahedi was a memory from a basketball court many years ago.I was already past the age when most players begin slowing down. Yet there I was, tying my shoelaces before a state tournament, hearing the usual whispers: Why continue? Why not step aside?Sometimes the world quietly hands you a script about how things are su...
There’s a particular kind of confidence that comes from building something without excess. Not the loud confidence of billion-dollar funding rounds or glossy launch events — but the quiet certainty of knowing every screw, every line of code, every decision had to justify its existence.LeanSpark feels like that kind of confidence.I began reading it at a time when every startup headline seemed to sc...
Have you ever sat in a beautifully lit café, sipping a hot cappuccino, watching plates fly out of the kitchen, servers glide between tables, and thought — How hard can it really be to run a restaurant?I have. More times than I can count.And every time, I’ve wildly underestimated the answer.Because from the customer’s side of the counter, everything looks effortless — the clink of cutlery, the arom...
Some books don’t knock gently. They kick the door open, drag a chair into the centre of your life, and say, “Sit. We need to talk about the dream you keep postponing.”The Storypreneur’s Playbook: Fifteen Inspiring Stories to Unleash the Entrepreneur in You by Prateek Roy Chowdhury and Nitin Babel is exactly that kind of book — the kind that arrives like a storm and leaves as quiet clarity.To be ho...
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....
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...
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...
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...
I just closed Insightful Inc. by Manish Makhijani and, honestly, it felt like stepping into the mind of a master observer. Have you ever watched a seemingly ordinary scene — a mother choosing a cereal at the store, a commuter navigating traffic — and suddenly realized there’s a whole universe of decisions, emotions, and habits hidden there? That’s the kind of lens Makhijani invites you to wear. Dr...
