“This book will be of great use to entrepreneurs and founders of start-ups. It helps them in understanding how to start, scale, and grow their business. There is a separate chapter in the book that speaks about salesmanship,” said Ajai Chowdhry. The book infused with experience and learning also highlights the importance of entrepreneurship, and how to run a successful start-up.
