Book Review - "The first shaky steps towards entrepreneurship take a gut-wrenching resolve, and then, if the venture starts to show signs of lift-off, the heart yearns for creating an organization which is global in dimension. In an increasingly enabled world it is inevitable that the conciousness throbs with the realization that such a possibility is not merely theoretical. "In Search...." is an expression of this passion and resilience which live inside the soul of every promoter who has taken a seed and seen it grow into a tree. The road to traverse ahead is tricky and demands a paradigm re-invention which commences with the basics. The story of a CEO and CFO going after each other as they hold opposite ends of the same stick is quintessential. It goes deep and is at the heart of the matter. The redemption is that there is a resolution of not only this story but almost all such stories." Ranjan Chopra CEO - Team Computers
