    How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company by Varun Agarwal is a compelling and humorous account of the fulfilment of entrepreneurial dreams.

    Summary Of The Book

    How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company is the true story of its young author Varun. The protagonist dreams about becoming an entrepreneur without much support from people around him. Convention emerges as a potent problem in the form of Engineering and MBA degrees. Alongside, there is also Anu Aunty, his mother’s best friend who turns into his biggest threat.

    The character of Anu Aunty stands out in the book and she is presented as an interfering woman, poking her nose into the problems of others. She is the quintessential anxious Indian mother of an accomplished son. How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company presents Anu Aunty’s constant ridicule and mocking of Varun’s seemingly laidback and unaccomplished personality. Anu Aunty keeps appearing as an obstacle in the path of Varun and his friends at every juncture.

    However, Anu Aunty’s ridicule eventually spurs Varun onto greater heights and he comes up with a business idea in partnership with his friend Rohan Malhotra. He decides to follow his own dreams and establishes an organization called Alma Mater. Creating customized accessories and outfits for educational alumni in India, the venture is a roaring success.

    How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company is the author’s debut novel and is on its fourth reprint already. Having sold twenty thousand copies in only a month, the book has become a bestseller by national standards. It has also occupied a firm foothold on the bestseller charts for eighty days at a stretch. He attained initial popularity with his Facebook blog posts, a few of which were sent to his publishers. The book was conceived once they demanded a full manuscript.

    Top books

    There are few authors in India who write exceptionally well. Varun is one of those. I am a vivid reader and read almost all the books that come my way. This stands third.

    1. Corporate Chanakya
    2. That's the way we met - Sudeep Nagarkar
    3. How I braved Any Aunty - Varun Aggarwal
    4. The Backbenchers - Siddharth Oberoi

    Pros and Cons

    Pros:

    1) Awesome way of telling a success story
    2) A bangalorean can definitely relate to several details mentioned in the book
    3) Keeps you interested throughout
    4) Inspiring for a wannabe entrepreneur for sure.

    Cons (not very significant though):

    1) The occasional use of vulgar lingo to keep it funny, was uncalled for, really! Also, at few places, the bangalorean way of speaking seemed to be exaggerated.
    2) The book is not a 'guide to entrepreneurship'. It's purely the story of Varun an...

    i would buy it solely for the post script!

    He’s clearly not Paulo Coelho but his writing reflects genuine storytelling. Varun Agarwal, a pat on your back! This book is truly inspirational (myself included) for the ones sitting at home, spending endless hours on facebook and waiting to take our leap and make something of ourselves on our very own!
    What I loved was the casual tone of the book with the right amount of humor and romance! The book connects well with any clueless college compadre who’s waiting for a breakthrough in life an...

    A must must read!

    One of the greatest books I read so far in this year. It shows you how a person's character transforms yet remains the same with the experiences and situations that he/she stumbles upon.

    You start the book relating to Varun, the author. When you were in that stage of deciding what to do with your life and people giving you a number of advice. You didn't want to meet your family friends in order to avoid, "So aajkal kya kar rahe hai bache aapke" But then as the book proceeds when you have com...

    Unputdownable - to say the least

    This is one of those rare true stories which will keep u hooked till the end..and u don't want to leave the story in between. I've started this at 10:30 and finished it at 5 in the morning..the author confessed in the beginning that he is not a good writer and how right he is..he is indeed an amazing narrator..we all have faced a Anu Aunty in our lives..whether its in the form of parent / relative / neighbor etc.. considering the fact that Alma Matter is really a company adds joy to the story...
