Hello,

How you doing?
 I feel great! Just in for the review of

Book Title:
            MEN OF STEEL : India's Business leaders in candid conversation with Vir Sanghvi 

Author:       Vir Sanghvi
ISBN:          81-7436-474-9
Publisher:   Roli books Pvt. Ltd.

Having a little knowledge of the business world helped me to read this book. If you have the knowledge of the business world then you will enjoy the conversation between the author of the book and the MEN of Steel from India. Various personalities who are quoted in this book are as follows:

• Nandan Nilekani
• Kumar Mangalam Birla
• Sunil Bharati Mittal
• Azim Premji
• Subhash Chandra
• Rajeev Chandrasekhar
• Bikki Oberoi
• Nusli Wadia
• Uday Kotak
• Vijay Mallya
• Ratan Tata

Leaders have shared there parts of personality, with the writer in a candid talk. These talks/interviews were first published in the HT(Hindustan Times) July-September 2005 issues.

Book is written and published in 2007 so, along with the candid talk author has shown his own perspective about these men in an interesting way.

If you are a new learner on the business world, then this book have the potential to provide you the right attitude directly from the masters.

You will learn about the reserved royal ways of the Azim Premji and you will learn about the fearless, risk-taking and optimistic nature of the Vijay Mallya. The book is written in 2007 but, it can never become outdated because, it does not contain only the history/facta of the business as the only content.

You will not get the detailed factual report of the businesses of the Wipro, infosys, Aditya Birla Group, BPL Mobiles or Jupiter capital, Kingfisher, Bharti Enterprises, Zee TV, Oberoi Hotels, Brittania, Kotak Mahindra or TATA group of companies.

What you are going to get along is a little factual report and a lot about the personalities of these men. So, few people think that as the interviews are taken in 2005 so, the book is outdated but, that is not true.

Vir Sanghvi has a vast experience in the media world and has analyzed these men for a long period of time so, you are going to get the best in the book.

Of course a lot has been added to the facts after 2007, Rajeev Chandrashekhar is now the member of Rajya Sabha, Kingfisher airlines is closed now but, we know that Vijay Mallya is a business fisher, a king fisher so, no doubt he might already have fished something new.

What you get from this book is a business sense, a part of the sense of these mighty business people from the entrepreneurial world.

Thank your for reading.
