One of the best book by Rashmi Bansal narrating a story of 25 successful entrepreneurs from IIM- Ahmedabad. The book inspire young graduates to think beyond placements and salaries and to believe in their dreams. It is not the stereotype self help book.
Some of the inspiring stories which inspires me most.

Naukri.com: Sanjeev Bikchandani The reason for starting his company was independence. As an MBA from Ahmedabad he could have worked for any multinational companies, but he did not want to be prisoner of his visiting card and the logo on it. He has seen many ups and down in his career but never lost his hope. It is the persistence that makes him successful and it inspire many of us.
I like his advice that never start your business to make money. Love your work it gives meaning to the life. Then you will never loose your hope. There is no such thing as a failed entrepreneur, only when you quit. Until then, you are simply not successful yet.

Educomp: Shantanu Prakash is an optimist and innovator. When his father was retired and they wanted to settled in Delhi. He found that they do not have enough money to buy a DDA flat. Somewhere he knew that being a service holder he can not earn that much money, So he was sure that he will become an entrepreneur. He says that you don’t need money to start a businesses , if you have capital its great if you don’t it doesn’t matter, you cant start the business. He started a company Educomp it is into digital content and E-learning. Starting from scratch, now his company capitalization is Rs 7000 crore.

Feedback Venture: Vinayak Chatterjee was not sure what he

    Flipkart was established by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal both are alumni of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and worked for Amazon.com before quitting and founding their own company. Initially they used word of mouth to popularise their company. A few months later, the company sold its first book on flipkart.com - John Woods' Leaving Microsoft to Change the World. Within two years through word of mouth of their services, Flipkart became one of the top 100 Indian sites and was credited for being India's largest online bookseller with over 7 million titles on offer. Flipkart broke even in March 2010 and claims to have had at least 100% growth every quarter since it’s founding. The store started with selling books and in 2010 branched out to selling CDs, DVDs, mobile phones, cameras and other electronic gadgets. As of today, Flipkart employs over 3000 people.…

    Though the plot was set in ancient plot, the entire essence of the book can be translated to the entrepreneurship. It sounds like a book that would teach people how to become a great salesman, but it is not for that purpose. It would rather teach you valuable principles and habits that are necessary to become a successful person in life. However, this book is certainly not for everyone, as claimed in the book. Unless you have strong will power to face both failure or you have the confidence of being successful, this book may certainly not be for…

    With the phrase “stay hungry, stay foolish” Steve Jobs wanted to say that we should never be content with what we have now and find our own way to perfection, that in this life there is always something that we can learn and use in our life later on, the “foolish” in this phrase means that we must be ready to try new things and be ready to step out of our comfort zone, we only live once , so we must follow our dreams no matter what it takes. Long time ago I have read the book and found an excellent phrase and I absolutely agree with that “only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change , and the realist adjusts the sails.” To sum up the idea of Steve Jobs we must be always hungry for knowledge , because knowledge itself can’t be useless and in the future we will definitely find a way to use it, second thing is that we need to find a work that we truly love and are ready to do it for the rest of our life. We also need to learn not to pay attention to every dog that barks at us, furthermore we need to understand concept of taking risks in our life, one of the greatest scientists of all time Albert Einstein once said “ A ship is always safe at the shore, but that is not what it is built for”. With the will of achieving success and all mentioned above combined there is no mission a human can’t accomplish. In the end of this topic I want to finish it with a great inspirational quote “If the mind is willing , the flesh could go on and on without many things.”…

    To become a successful entrepreneur, is for many people a dream come true. However, too many entrepreneurs see their dreams fall apart. Did you know that one-third of all small businesses fail in the first two years? Well, it gets worse than that. Within the first five years more than half of the newly started companies fail. I don’t know about you, but if I had known about these numbers before starting a career as an entrepreneur, I sure as hell wouldn’t dare to start. I am not here to scare you away of course; I am trying to make a point. My point is that you have to do your homework; you have to know the game before you start playing.…
