Business Maharajas - Gita Piramal - Paperback Book

This book is the compilation of the topmost Indian Businessman of India. This review would talk about the character/ personalities, their attitude toward everything, more, rather than they being righteous or they being wrong. I firmly believe same is the attitude of the author-“Impartial”. Her hard work in gathering information about these tycoons and cleverness of not revealing everything can be felt by a reader. Even then, the information given is more than appetite of any want to-be business tycoon.
The book is really old, it was published in 1996. So, the present of all the tycoons is not hidden. Well the present proves the intelligence of the author in choosing only these 8 tycoons rather than just any other Tycoon. In Present, Reliance is on the top and still her way ahead, Kumar Mangalam has taken “Aditya Birla Group” to newer and better heights, Bajaj is manufacturing India’s best sports bike- Pulsar, Goenka Public School or college or university is known to atleast every Indian student, Tata has grown and is still growing under the value based leadership of Mr.Ratan Tata, and last but not the least Mr. Brij Mohan Khaitan is the world’s largest manufacturer of tea.
The quality which can fascinate any of the reader, to read and re-read these biographies is that all of them are just like us –Humans. Honestly, they all face the same problems just any normal person does. Everyone of them has been through families divorce, everyone of them has faced problem of doing business in India, everyone of them at some point in their life has been bruised by Life very badly, and more importantly, the things which gave made them Maharaja’s are that every single one of them was driven by their own fire, Each one of them had a clear conscience, each one of them were many times very unreasonable to the world but never to themselves, each one of them loved their family the most, each one of them was humble, each one of them, in some way, always wanted to help people around them, None of them played with time- all of them were punctual, each one of them followed a self made routine- best suited for them and each one of them Dreamt Big!!!
