Summary:
Many IITians after graduation tend to head for MNC jobs and seven figure salaries but several have chosen the different path of entrepreneurship. This book traces the story of 20 such entrepreneurs from IIT Kharagpur. Entrepreneurship is not just about breaking free from the 9am to 5pm humdrum, not about being your own boss, and definitely not glorious. The entrepreneur shuns the comfort of a cushy corporate job and a seven-figure salary to set sail on unchartered waters with a single-minded zeal and only an idea as an anchor. But it is this idea and passion that makes all the difference and catapults him into a world of infinite possibilities.
