An old Hindi proverb says, "Mare bina swarg nahi milta." Never have truer words been spoken. In fact, this adage could be the mantra of all 10 visionary, gutsy entrepreneurs profiled in Vikas Pota's book about celebrated corporate leaders in India. Pota's treatise offers intriguing insights into the backgrounds, beliefs, values and attitudes of these highly prosperous business leaders. While Pota's access to such renowned members of India's commercial sphere is impressive, his minibiographies do not contain much practical advice on how to emulate these stars or how to establish an enterprise in India, and the stories overindulge in figures and statistics, which hinder reading. However, getAbstract recommends this book to global managers seeking a solid overview of India's business environment and to those looking for inspiration to launch a start-up anywhere in the world. And that old Hindi proverb? "Without death, there can be no heaven": Great things can only be achieved through great effort.

INDIA INC: HOW INDIA'S TOP TEN ENTREPRENEURS ARE WINNING GLOBALLY uses in-depth interviews with the country's ten top business people to consider the entrepreneurs following in the footsteps of pioneers. The stories mix business savvy with biographical sketches of the leaders and provide fine insights into Indian business perspectives and challenges in a pick especially recommended for college-level global business collections.

8 different Industries, 10 Top Executives; individually they are worth over millions, jointly their companies are over $105b in market capitalisation, thus making them bigger than likes of eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, Vodafone, Dell & BT.

Most of them are still relatively unknown heroes in overseas world and though their names are not as established as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Richard Branson yet, India Inc CEOs are not far behind.

Vikas Pota has done a sterling job in bringing out the real story of these giants to the world and has used relatively straight forward but powerful language to highlight the ups and downs of their lives and why they all deserve a place in the history of top people who changed the 21st Century.

No matter which country you are from, what religion you belong, if you need to understand the great minds that have helped shape the India of today and set the path for tomorrow, this is a must-read.

Highly recommended !
