This is an excellent biography for those who "Dare to Dream". Born on the turn of the century, MS Oberoi, The young boy from Bhaun has come a long way in his 98 years of life. Yet undeterred by age, he is as active as ever. This book tells his story of "From Rags to Riches". Also an excellent book for Students pursuing a degree in Hotel Managment.

I read this a few days back. By the time I finished it, I was breathless. Can you dare to dream this big? If you can, Do read this.

I read this book in 1994. I recently picked up "Dare To Dream" from my collection whilst researching for a training programme. Surprisingly, I came across some of the 'gems' which I had highlighted. One of them read: "The idea was never merely to make money. The compulsion was to think big, and let it happen. The profits would automatically come in." Other thoughts of Mr Rai Bahadur, ".....quality costs money but it also brings in more money.", "...We do it every time." and there are many more sprinkled throughout the book. Though my edition is nearly 8 years old, the business lessons are as current as yesterday. This book is more than a biography, it is a book in business management about the hotel industry in India. Ms Karkaria could update this book and re-launch the book not only as a biography but resource reading in business management!

I read this book when I was a management trainee with The Oberoi School of Hotel Management (OSHM) in Delhi, India.(Now known as The Oberoi Center For Learning and Development).

This book lead us to believe that "Those who dare to dream...dare to achieve "

A great job Ms. Karkaria !!!!

The main point in the book is that it is not at all wrong to dream but it is wrong not to implement the dreams that you dream of. I love this book .I read this book by lending it from a library but i think that it is worth of owning the book to my self.It clearly depicts the human nature to dream and how the dreams of Oberoi have made him great by implementing them.The author of the book had done justice by depicting the clear facts about Mohansingh Oberoi.I can't express in words what impact the book had on me.
