The High Performance Entrepreneur

   I was out wit friends @ oxford yesterday waiting for someone so was looking through books n picked up this book called "The High Performance Entrepreneur" by Subroto Bagchi. I haven't heard of the book but reading a few pages told me I had to get the book so I ended up buying it. Its about the "Golden rules for success in today's world" for a start up by Subroto Bagchi who is one of the founders of Mindtree. Its definitely a "treasure trove of perspective and advice" as C.K. Prahalad claims. But now this is my view of the book:

   Its a must read for anyone who is planning to start up their own enterprise but be warned, its not exactly a guide on how to go about setting up, but first helps you examen if you are ready and if you are doing it for the right reasons. It definitely guides you towards the right path, which may either be to give up your ideas of setting up, delaying the process or going ahead with your plans. I would suggest you read Build to last in addition to this book to get an idea of the big picture !!!


   I am still mid-way though the book so I shall write more about it once I finish but I'm already a fan of Subroto Bagchi and plan to follow up more on him.



Now i gtg give my dog a bath before dad gets wild wit me :)
