Story of Real Entrepreneurs
Mar 06, 2017 06:06 PM 4084 Views

I had purchased this book Stay Hungry Stay Foolish of Rashmi bansal last year as I like to read about corporate and also people associated with it.


In my opinion its something which is not liked by everyone rather it inspires those who believe in their instincts to do different in the field of business and entrepreneurship.


Rashmi bansal had interviewed different entrepreneurs some of whom are well known and established one. The one thing that I learn from this book is you just have to stick to yourself and believe in your instinct along with hard determination to become an entrepreneur. The Innovation in ideas will definitely lead towards the path of entrepreneurship.


The book is good as it possess the hardships and struggles along with connecting the dots of the instinct and ideas.


As a whole its a good book if one like corporate world and also the concept of entrepreneurship.

This book was prescribed to me by a companion, so I was anticipating understanding it. The substance is for the most part great. It more likely than not been a test to hand-pick these 25 individuals from an ocean of achievers in India. My figure is that the creator, being an IIM-A graduate herself, more likely than not found out about a portion of the stories amid her residency at IIM-A. The 25 stories are a respectable blend of IT, training, male, female, and so on.


Be that as it may, what frustrated me was the sheer number of errors in this book. Man, how they make me insane. There were likewise a few occurrences of clumsy sentence development. I'm no syntax master yet even I saw some glaring syntactic mistakes. Extremely poor altering, I should state.


Additionally, and this is representing myself, I couldn't feel persuaded or roused by stories where the interviewee concedes that he thought more about being a win at business, than about offering time to his family

Best motivational book
Jun 30, 2016 12:39 PM 4215 Views

I picked up this book in a roadside bookstall, had never heard of this book before, but boy! what a gem it turned out to be.


A truly inspiring book, the narrative is fluid, never glossing over unnecessary details, with well grounded takeaway summaries at the end of each chapter.


The book will make you impatient to take the plunge if you are the one like me hovering around the fringes of entrepreanourship thoughts constantly:-), the solid practical wisdom that shines through in this book will remain as a lantern to wade through challenging times.Rashmi Bansal, Way to go! you have written a brilliant book. Hope to see similar gems in future.

A must read for all entrapeneurs!!

I have the read the entire book and I think that this is one of the most inspirational books for aspiring entrepreneurs.  Whenever you're feeling low and thinking that things are not going your way, you can read this book and I'm sure that it'll give you some inspiration and you'll feel that if these people could achieve it then even I can. Rashmi Bansal has kept the language very simple and it can be read by a large base of readers.


As the book covers the stories of entrepreneurs from all the sectors, No matter which sector you want to work, you  get an idea of how these entrepreneurs started off and what challenges did they face and their hard work paid off.  This book is a must read for all those who want to make it big in life and learn from the achievers.

Not up to the mark!!!!!!! DO not buy at all
Jan 15, 2016 08:05 PM 5558 Views

This book I taught, must be good at read and teaches some thing for startups and entrepreneurs but it is truly the promotion of IIMA and a kind of life history of its PGPs.


Nothing useful and interesting can be found. It is not for the aspiring entrepreneurs. It just sold its this much copies due to cover and title. I dont liked it all. A boring book. Its Storyline is too boring and I just tells about the entrepreneurs and their life. No interest is there.


Don't be foolish
Jun 25, 2015 07:18 PM 8075 Views

Stay hungry stay foolish is a motivational book written by Rashmi Bansal. Though im not a big fan of this genre I read it on the recommendation of my friend.


The book is basically a story of about the top enter pruners of Indian business market, the risk they took to become big and their lofe today.


Personally I did not like this book much as it does a lot of preaching and while reading it you might feel like reading an interview in a newspaper.


The author could have used a different approach to send her point across. There are other books like the monk who sold his ferrari and greatness guide by Robin Sharma which you might enjoy if you are interested in reading motivational book. All and all a dull affair this book I would not recommend to many.


Promotional brochure of IIM A
Jun 21, 2015 10:27 PM 6480 Views

I bought this book before my MBA(in 2010); you see, I wanted to be inspired about doing business. Couldn't read more than 2 stories then. The writing style is poor, and the stories are monotonous. The stories selected are also quite dull - just a bunch of IIM grads, either bragging about the rags to riches story or how they extended their family business.


I thought that this book will be like the monk who sold his Ferrari ie inspirational category. But it had been been anecdotes of 25 IIM grduates who started their own business. No need to buy this book. Think of a entrepreneur, google it and get details.No need to buy this book.


I want to hear stories of the 1000s of souls who risked it all and failed. There is a lot to learn from the successes of the few that the book will present but I think I will avoid a lot more pitfalls from the failures and learn about quagmires that you cannot escape.


Not Worth
May 05, 2015 09:22 PM 6973 Views

Rashmi Bansal is a writer, entrepreneur and youth expert.She is the author of two bestselling books on entrepreneurship. So I was looking forward to reading it.


To be honest, getting a root canal treatment from dentist is less painful than reading this book. It's like a boring collection of case studies of brilliant entrepreneurs of India who are the alumnus of IIM A. There is no speck of doubt that these brave people did an extraordinary job in their fields; and there is no speck of doubt that the author did an extraordinary job in copying and pasting the statistics, case studies of these entrepreneurs.


It takes a skilful wits to make inspiring stories presented in such a way that even a 10th grade student could compare his own writing style with this book's laboriously boring, mechanical style; and therefore feel relatively good about himself. If I could turn back time, I would want to read every single one of these brilliant stories again but not from this author. Never!


Feel sad for those entrepreneurs, whose stories could have been the cult motivator for our generation but could not reach its true potential because of dry, unarticulated, clandestine flow of author's thought.


I guess this book cannot even qualify as a promotional brochure for IIM-A . The book is poorly written, with no consistency in writing styles or language(all of these are bad though) and does not even provide motivation at all. I think very motivated people can actually run away from becoming entrepreneurs by reading this book .


I wonder how this book became a best seller. It is monotonous and mundane. I liked the idea of sharing successful stories and inspiring people.However, the execution is so poor that I struggled to finish it. Poorly written, it didn't inspire or motivate me at all.


I would never recommend it to anyone.


Good but not the best
May 03, 2015 06:20 PM 8253 Views

Its really a good book but can't say the best of its parity. Its enjoyable that all the people of the book have done a great contribution to the society, hence they all came from a great educational background. But I was searching for those stories which actually derive the mind set of the people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Sachin Tendulkar who doesn't have that great background but similarly done the best of their parity.


May be my search was wrong but any ways this book is good for the entrepreneurs minded people.


Very Enlighting
May 02, 2015 02:38 PM 6961 Views

The book has been written by an entrepreneur and a youth expert. This book features around the life of twenty five MBAs from Indian Institute of Managment, Ahmedabad. They left their respective / lucrative jobs to follow the tough road of entrepreneurship.


The title provides the motivation that we always need to stay hungry. This book has created records of selling. I would recommend this book to those who can do such things that those 25 MBAs have done.


Great book for budding Entrepreneurs!!!
Apr 28, 2015 09:44 PM 7951 Views

It gives experiences of the students from IIM Ahmedabad having dream of starting their own business. So if u are on the way of Entrepreneurship/starting a business this book is the one for you.


However, the book does not describe the tough challenges that one has to face of starting a business. The best part of the book is that it helped me change my outlook of success.


Normally people perceive "measure of success in life is money" but it made me realize that money beyond an significant level in life does no matter most,


Each and Every Story is interesting. Each one kept me engrossed all through.


Kudos!


Case study book
Apr 20, 2015 11:47 PM 6920 Views

People are fooled by the title of the book.


When you flip through the book, you really get a feeling of looking into a set of case study papers being given during your MBA.


The book does not describe the real hardness or toughness of starting a business and the feeling of happiness of a successful business.The book mostly talks about numbers which does not make much sense when the road traveled is not discussed .


Finding very hard to finish the book.:-(


Good but could have been better
Apr 16, 2015 12:33 PM 8118 Views

You may find the book boring at certain points. Few stories are not really great. I'm not trying to blame the author. I understand that the reality cannot be interesting always, but those stories could have been easily removed: you find it difficult to connect with them. Even if the book had only 15 stories, I would've bought it!


And, those 15 are really good. Each having something which is worth noting for a budding entrepreneur.


Other than a few mis-spelt words and few boring stories, the book is great!


A good read
Apr 11, 2015 01:42 AM 8205 Views

This was suggested to me by my friend. The Book is written in a very simple language that's easy to understand for everyone.


This Book has the capacity to make anyone take a U turn and grow in life from all kind of full stops.Especially the stories of Eklavya foundation, Naukari.com is very inspiring.Very often we know the overseas success stories on our fingertip, but hardly anyone knows about our own motherland success stories.


Good work.


Inspirational Read..
Apr 09, 2015 11:22 PM 7978 Views

This book is an compilation of 25 IIM-A graduates entrepreneurial stories, The stories are very well narrated in the book.


However the best part about this book is it, helped me change my outlook for success. Normally people perceive "measure of success in life is money". but these 25 entrepreneurs narrated that money beyond an significant level in life does no matter most, but the trill of doing new things day by day & learning from mistakes, which gave them more joy & energy to go forward.


I have recommended this Book to more than 200 people as of now and will keep recommending to many more.


This Book has the capacity to make anyone take a U turn and grow in life from all kind of full stops.


Especially the stories of Eklavya foundation, Naukari.com is very inspiring.


Rashmi Bansal has done a wonderful Job.No words for the apperciation in the way she writes. One feels like watching a documentary on the people who are featured in this book.
