I love reading books written by my fellow bloggers and here we are talking about someone I have hugely admired for her travel diaries and book reviews both. Having interacted with her quite a few times this book came as a pleasant surprise when I saw her name as the author.
Mixed emotions – pride with excitement
I loved the basis of the book very much. These days our life has practically become a click of a button. Things change, shopping done, hospital found, schools located, taxi booked, movie show organized… the list is endless of things that can be done and are being done even as we speak at this moment.
The author has done an excellent homework behind each and every name mentioned by her in this book. Tracing their story since inception to till date is no mean feat especially when you are talking about stalwarts like Flipkart and Zomato. The detailing done speaks volumes about the India Shining story everyone seems to be talking about. Kudos to the author’s efforts behind this one!
A book to be treasured, read, re-read and shared too! I enjoyed reading the book for each and every story shared here is awe inspiring for sure. A must read for all budding entrepreneurs!
