Random House Books for Young Readers The Reluctant Billionaire: How Dilip Shanghvi Became the Richest Self-Made Indian

I recommend this book 'THE RELUCTANT BILLIONAIRE' for three reasons:1. You will get a feel of what good, simple and lucid writing is.2. I have always been talking about storytelling. So many small stories have been weaved seamlessly into every chapter engaging the reader.Hats off to Soma Das, the biographer of Dilip Shanghvi, for her style of writing3. You will also get a glimpse of Dilip Shanghvi and his burning desire to make Sun Pharma a name to be reckoned with in the world pharma industry - hated by the US-FDA but respected at home.Publishers: PenguinAvailable on line.

I am not one of those who can finish reading a book overnight or in a few days.. been reading a few pages every day and i must say.. in today's time.. learning about Mr. Dilip Sanghavi in such detail.. feels great..His story appears to be of belief, in oneself more than from any one else.. For me, that is powerful.Glad i took the decision to order.

For those who like reading about personalities who are an enigma, this book delivers the goods. From a purely content perspective this book is overwhelming. Be it tracing the humble beginnings or taking us through his M&As, one can't but help wonder how he did it all. In today's world of self-publicity overdrive, Mr.Sangvi does seem to you as the "Reluctant Billionaire", working his way to glory, without the pomp and fussIt's a well researched account by the author Soma Das. On a subject (pharmaceuticals) that would have been an otherwise drab read, the author makes it such a simple task.

This is not a book...its a case study,this is also not an autobiography...its a way mr dilip sanghvi is coaching the reader in nuances of business.I strongly recommend this book to everyone who is searching for a book that he doesn’t want to keep down until it is finished.Soma das has nailed it perfectly.The only thing which would have made this book complete is lack of negatives and faliures that mr dilip sanghvi faced during his journey of making SUN pharma what it is today.

After a long time a really good biography to have come out of India. The book is very engaging, fast paced and engrossing without any dull moments. The book chronicles Dilip Shangvi’s life, the events that shaped his persona and how he by his grit and intelligence shapes the events around him. This book should be read by anyone who follows the Pharma sector as it provides deep insights into the industry’s evolution. The book is peppered with interesting human stories, emotional cross-roads and relationship dilemma’s encountered by the protagonist in his journey. For its emotional content alone I wholeheartedly recommend this book for everyone.
