"Added Value" by Peter Church Book Review

In the age of diminishing attention spans, Peter Church pens a delectable book on thirty of India's modern capitalist entrepreneurs with a social bias. I have attended the book launch in Mumbai recently where some of the subjects covered in the book turned up to share their versions of what was the tipping point in their careers, what are their current concerns and what do they see next for themselves. Peter Church, being a head of one of the leading legal firms, does a Boswell by listing his observations and piquant remarks in an anecdotal way- not judging the entrepreneurs as they unfold their dreamy past but making them up in a story-telling fashion such that the story ends with all the crisp details and gives us the big picture, almost ending at the juncture at which they were about to soar. Brilliant read and gives enough titbits that add salt to any conversation about India's new crop of Billion Dollar entrepreneurs. You will know more than a thing or two about each of the icons covered in this business.
