The Startup Diaries: Ordinary Entrepreneurs, Extraordinary Journeys

Stories of vision and conviction, passion and persistence, struggles and setbacks of six individuals behind the startups that became major players in their domain. Entrepreneurs – from the Hindi heartland to Ivy League B-Schools and a college drop-out – who were convinced that their ideas offered a better value proposition than all existing products and services. Uncommon stories of common individuals. These are no super heroes or geniuses or heirs of super rich families or the ‘lucky ones’, rather they are the men who made mistakes, suffered deceit and setbacks, and fought against all odds to come up triumphant. Each of the stories is from a different field and presents a different face, yet the soul remains the same – ability to make things happen. Conviction, passion, willingness to take risks, hard work, perseverance, and team building remain the underlying thread in each story.
