The Inheritors: Stories of Enduring Success and Innovation
Author: Sonu Bhasin
Pages:  304
Publisher: Penguin Random House India



First of all I would like to thank WritersMelon for considering me to review this book.
The inheritors is a collection of stories about some of the biggest entrepreneurs and how they have strived to achieve the success they have today and how the common conception of people is that they have inherited the wealth from their ancestors which is not at all true. The book is about value like honesty, culture, the hard work which every person from the family puts into their business and how everyone aims to see their business on the top eventually shaping the persons personality and also of the business. The book shows us how the great personalities took some decisions but all their tactics and decision do not work and how they have tried and tested other tactics and achieve the success rather than giving up on the business.

The book contains stories of some of the biggest brands like Dabur Group, Marico, Berger Paints, Motilal Oswal Group, Keventers, Max Group, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Luxor and Select Group. The title of the book is “The Inheritors” but the book is not all about the Inheritors i.e. the 2nd or 3rd Generations but we also get to see how the thinking processes about the owners i.e. the mastermind behind the business and in what condition they have created the business. We also get to see that the business is not actually inherited but the inheritors also had to strive to get the business to the next level and strive to keep it alive and how much of time they put into it while doing so.

What I learned from this book is that honesty and ethics play an important role not only in personal life but in every kind of work be it family business or a large MNC. We also get to know about how the various inheritors had a clear vision about the goal and what they wanted to create out of their business which they have achieved through hard work and dedication at all stages of their decision making. At times we can experience thin times but instead of giving up one should strive to reach their goal and not give up. Again, accepting our mistake and correcting them at the earliest will help us achieve more.

I would definitely recommend ‘The Inheritors’ to people who love reading books about how the businesses work and the thought process about the people creating the business.  To know more in detail about the various brands and about their thought process buy The Inheritors

Disclaimer: I received this book from WritersMelon in exchange for my honest review.

Dancers in the Dark | Book Review

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
