A must read for its rare, yet untold insights, into the story of a shaper who breathed his own values of integrity and accountability into the DNA of an institution, that still remains true to its middle-class values. The 1970s in India were dark times of high tax slabs, land sharks and black money. When loans were a last resort meant for emergencies and buying a house was beyond aspiration, possible only at retirement, nobody was willing to bet on the repayment capacity of the ignored middle class, except one man. This invisible Class went on to become the primary potential customer base for housing development finance Corporation (HDFC). the rest as they say is history. While HDFC was Hasmukh thakordas Parekh’s brainchild, it was his nephew Deepak parents who shaped it. Parekh left a comfortable overseas job with a plum salary and exclusive perks to join his uncles mortgage company at a 50 per cent pay cut. He nurtured HDFC to become India’s largest and cleanest financial conglomerate—not just in housing finance, but later in Banking, asset management and Insurance too.

I think this book is well researched though many of the stories are already in public domain. But book offers insights into life of founders and Institution which are very helpful for Investors of HDFC and it's subsidiaries. Further this book can inspire others to follow suit especially by doing business ethically....

Customer centricity, customer segmentation, design thinking, low attrition, development plans, making a better world, designing products with empathy at the core - no this is not a book about a new age startup or product management. This is about an institution that is still less than 50 years old - HDFC. A fantastic story that starts from 1905. Do read.

Not worth it. Feel like a boring lecture with no real life examples of Deepak Parekh life
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 24 January 2022Verified Purchase
Bought this book with so much enthusiasm but found it very boring. There are nothing in this book to share how Deepal solves challenges or any interesting example. It reads like a business study class and i would like to skip that theoritical class
