Of-course, who doesn’t want to be like them and of course each of us crave for the innovations which make some of us to think aside and bring what nobody in the world cannot till date.Very few of us know about such minds, specially, I haven’t heard of anyone of them before,but this book helped me to know about such minds and their products and their beautiful and inspiring story.

At the end of each story, you would find a mantra for you which will help you to think about your capabilities and promotes you to give it a new life.A well-planned, well-researched and well-written book which I would like to recommend to everyone if you are into business reading.

Indian Innovators is a source of inspiration for those who wishes to contribute something unique and wishes to perform out of the box task ,and even if the fire inside you is waiting to ignite, the stories narrated in this book will ignite that fire atleast to some extent.
