your effort is appreciated arvind .. not so much in writing the review as in reading the book !! yes u got it .. i dont think the book is worth a read ... its a very poorly written book ... that jus goes to show biyani and his pantaloons n bigbazzar in good (read great) light...
Hmmm... two diverse views. Well, that surely makes it interesting. We need to read it ourselves and see if we can get to the last page! How would you rate the story telling aspect? and is it engaging?
we all know Mr. Biyani has his finger on the pulse of retail in thsi nation.. so I think people who idealise him, would surely like it!
Hi dudes
Listening to both the views, I have bought the book today. The best part was it was just 99 Rs paperback Rupa publication, while on internet its being publicised that it is of 499 Rs. Anyway as I m doing training at Subhiksha, this read will definitely gimme a new perspective towards my work. Keep posting Arvind :)
Well prabal,

Hey varun, so u finally joined it. it will be fun to have u here. yeah u will learn from this book. i hope sanchit completes it asap and gives u a chance :) secondly, this blog will also learn a lot from the guy working with hottest cafe chain. Its like our second house in Mumbai. And we simply love it. :)
i ve jus started readn it..my contention ( to explain taru's observation)..we got to appreciate the business side of the book..taru may be focussin on literary side...
the book definately illustrates that business is more about intution and observation the theories and models that do not always encapsulate the indian context
