I am currently reading the book, “High Performance Entrepreneur” by Subroto Bagchi. I really liked this book. It is written beautifully with lot of real life examples. I recommend this book if anybody out there dream about starting a company of there own.
The author tells starting a company is not a child’s play. One must be really committed, dedicated towards it and once the decision taken there is no chance of taking your foot backwards. Entrepreneurs don’t fear failures, they know only to run the company themselves and they do it at any cost.
Subroto quotes nice examples in the book like; the first product of Sony was wooden rice cooker which was a failure product in the market. But still the Akio Morita the founder of Sony did not fear that and went to give us world class products.
Once IBM was bankrupted because of recession in 1917, No bank was willing to buy the computing device which IBM had created. Watson Senior's wife once met here friend who was librarian and she told , she wanted those computing device as she was finding it difficult to organize books. Then IBM was saved because they sold some of the devices to her. This made Watson realize that he must focus on larger issues like making devices for multipurpose use against making a product for one single Bank or vertical.
The author gives lot of insight on how Gopinath (CEO of Deccan Airways), Kiran ShawMazumdar (Bicon CEO), Siddhartha (Coffee Day),Ashok Soot(Mind tree) were able to succeed in there individual ventures.
He explains in depth, how to start a venture, what should be the necessary requirement & how you can achieve success. He also cautions about the various aspect of building company from scratch.
I feel this much of information on the book is sufficient, I would not like to spill all the beans.
