  • Description

    Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, by Rashmi Bansal, is a collection of 25 inspiring stories of 25 graduates from IIM Ahmedabad, who chose to tread the path of entrepreneurship. Their stories have now become sources of inspiration for all the budding entrepreneurs.

    Summary of the Book

    Stay Hungry Stay Foolish is widely acknowledged as a genuine source of inspiration for every original thinker with big dreams, who aspires to work on the idea of creating their own business venture. The book has sold more than 400,000 copies and has been translated into several other languages since its publication in 2008. It studies the cases of 25 individuals from diverse backgrounds and presents them to readers. These are the people who started their own businesses at the beginning of their careers, after completing their MBA education. Stories behind popular names such as naukari.com and Subhiksha describe what early dreamers like Sanjeev Bikhchandani and R Subramanian achieved. Motivating cases like Makemytrip.com, Mphasis tell the stories of people with a former taste of corporate life, before they became entrepreneurs. Rashmi meticulously writes about some of the informative stories of social friendly projects taken up by IIM PGP graduates, including GiveIndia by Venkat Krishnan. The title has been taken from one of the famous speeches made by Steve Jobs during his commencement address at the Stanford University.

    Inspiring read but only in scope of IIM-A

    Rashmi Banshal, with this book, made an effort to instigate the entrepreneurial drive that had been long concealed under the cobwebs of naive social influences in an individual.

    Since one's childhood, the society, namely parents, relatives, teachers, friends etc;, influences on one's thought process thus forbidding him/her taking any risk but aim for a secure job to lead a hassle free life.

But I was searching for those stories which actually derive the mind set of the people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Sachin Tendulker who doesn't have that great background but similarly done the best of their parity.

    Entreprenuership Oriented

    This book is fully oriented to entreprenuership. Its inspirational and motivational. But the portrays the success of only IIM-A Grats. Its like an advertising book of IIM-A although it is not required since IIM-A is most coveted as always. Advisable for entreprenuerial interested ppl not for IIM-A aspiring ppl.

    A must read for anyone with a spark!

    What an excellent compilation of success stories this book is! Very motivating, encouraging and path-breaking. I am sure it can motivate anyone who reads it. In a way, it was a much needed book to enforce our believe that Indians are no less entrepreneurs than any one else in the world.
