Tata launch India's first airline?How did Vijay Mallya wrest control of Shaw Wallace from Manu Chhabria?Why did Bhai Mohan Singh fall out with his favourite son and lose control of Ranbaxy? The Portfolio Book of Great Indian Business Stories contains excerpts from a selection of the finest business books published by Penguin Portfolio. This anthology features snippets from the lives of some of the most eminent business leaders India has seen-M.S. Oberoi, Ratan Tata, Aditya Birla and Rahul Bajaj, among others. There are tales of outstanding successes, crushing failures, extraordinary challenges and relentless determination, some of which chronicle the times when these legends were just simple businessmen trying to make a mark. The grit and ruthless persistence of these men defined who they were and the legacies they left behind.

Am halfway through the book and not sure if I want to finish it. Its a collection of anecdotes written by other people and leaves or somewhat half baked. Worth the money?.….. nah...

I am about halfway through this book and, for the first time ever, I am debating whether to abandon it. Going in to it, I thought it might be a little like Business Adventures by John Brooks but I was very very wrong. The author simply fills up each chapter with material from OTHER business journalists. While this doesn't break the book, the poor (unexciting) writing style and obvious inaccuracies and bias is painful. After reading the fan-boy style writing in chapter 3 about Ratan Tata I have lost all hope for the book.
This book would have been vastly improved had there been some common theme to the chapters, such as pre-Independence Indian business struggles, or business conflicts etc. Save for the 5!!! chapters about the Tatas and Co., there is nothing particularly unifying the chapters.
I would NOT recommend this book, and would instead direct a tentative reader to look at the primary sources this author EXTENSIVELY references from. Better still, would be to forget trying to find an Indian version of Business Adventures are go for books written by proven business journalists.
