About the Author

An economics graduate from Sophia College, Mumbai and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, Rashmi Bansal is a writer, entrepreneur and youth expert. Rashmi is co - founder and editor of JAM (Just Another Magazine), India's leading youth magazine in print and online. She writes extensively on youth, careers and entrepreneurship and hosts the popular blog: Youth Curry. "While picking the people I wanted to profile, I ensured that they be from as diverse backgrounds and industries as possible. We even had a few alumni voting on who should be profiled in the book. Since I was doing it for IIM - A, it was easier to approach people and gain their trust. The interviews were conducted over a period of three months in six different cities," said Bansal. "It was the Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship at the institute that had approached me with a vague idea of what they wanted. It was after that, that I started working on the book and seven months later, we released It. " said Bansal. Rashmi is also a Consulting Editor for 'Cracking Careers', the careers show on business news channel UTVi. She mentors students and young entrepreneurs in colleges across India. Rashmi is also the author of 'Connect The Dots' which covers inspiring stories of entrepreneurs. --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

It has tasted like an earlier read book by Rashmi Bansal "CONNECT THE DOTS". She walked me through 25 IIM Ahmedabad Alumni entrepreneurs story. By the time things are changing. However, it's not just about following what they did. It's about learning from their distinction. I believe each one should read this book once in their early stage of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entrepreneur mindset, what it's all about, go for it. It's adrenaline.
Reviewed in India on 4 November 2015

I have read just 4-5 stories form it. Absolutely amazing. If you want to get a shot of adrenaline and are entrepreneurial mindset go for it.

Whenever you feel lacking and need energy read one of those stories. It inspires / motivates / gives you a fair bit of idea how these people started their journey. Whether the same sector is feasible for you. How you can go about it.

Since it covers many stories you also get the idea of how entrepreneur really start. What challenges they face. How they overcome. Whether the sector is saturated or not.

I would be great to have a book where once can list one particular sector and startups related to that and their stories this will give grey matter for serious entrepreneurs.

I must start off by stating the fact that I'm not a bookworm. I've hardly read 2 books in my entire lifetime and this is one amongst them. Once I began to read this book, I couldn't resist myself from finishing it at one go! I liked the book so much that I gifted this book and "Connect the dots" by the same author, to one of my close friends! He was very happy to receive them. This kindled a fire of entrepreneurship in me. It thought me how to micro-manage and get the positives from the most negative situations.

Good to read, great to gift.

Rashmi Bansal's Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, is a Must Read Book for anyone Ideating to start an Enterprise. Focusing on Individuals who have been there and Done that, it's a collection of Amazing Real - Life Stories that would continue to Inspire you for Long.

The Narration is Lucid, and it's in very few places you find author moving from One decade to another In a Short span. But it's a great attempt in visualizing the Journey from a Entrepreneur's Perspective.
