    Terrific

    This is a great book to read because it is written by a gentleman online business owner who attempted to run his online business while not forgetting the basic cardinal rules of a so called business. Reading this book page by page was a lovely experience and the way it has been written turning the next page was an activity for which I was eager. Indiaplaza was really a pioneer and a courageous one to start E-Commerce in real in India when no one even imagined about it. A must read for every i...

    A very fine read of an entrepreneurial journey.

    I just finished reading this book and I loved it. The story about Mr. Vaitheeswaran's entrepreneurial journey is filled with struggles/pains endured and illuminated by the character of the author in tough times. many lessons to learn - one can start late and not have an elite education to start-up; and how to grow a company on limited funding. A very quick read but a lot to reflect upon.

    Must read for entrepreneurs

    Excellent book and must read for any Entrepreneur. I am not a regular reader but this book made me sit and complete it in a very few days time.
    Could correlate a lot of the points to some real life problem personally faced and help to identify the root cause the issues.
    Suggest anyone in the operations of eCommerce to also read this book.

    Most important read before you start your startup

    This is a must read book by all who are budding startups to established players in the Ecommerce world.

    Read this as Vaithee takes us into his indiaplaza journey and the realities which he brings out of the VC world, the gems of ideas in every aspect of business, the real metrics which one should measure the company if followed will keep us in existence for a long time..

    Him being personally hounded and targeting his family by creditors made me sad and how he came out of all this was bruta...
