Roller-coaster ride

Imagine you were on a flight and had the good luck of sitting next to an inspiring entrepreneur. And as you got talking to him or her, you heard their stories, brimming with hits and misses, triumphs, and troubles. Think of it is as an opportunity to have a fireside chat with some remarkable entrepreneurs.

Prakash Iyer, in his new book, ‘You Too Can’, narrates the journey of twenty entrepreneurs that rejoice their spirit. It brings stories of success, and struggle and survival. Prakash Iyer is also the author of The Habit Of Winning and The Secret Of Leadership.

Here is a preview of three entrepreneur stories:
