From the list (Bucket list)of 10 books which we have to read before may 2011, yestrday i completed one of them.
"Stay hungy Stay foolish" by Rashmi Bansal.
Stay Hungry Stay Foolish is the story of 25 graduates of IIM Ahmedabad (IIM-A), who chose to become entrepreneurs, shunning the more conventional and comfortable option of high-paying corporate jobs.
All this 25 person can devided in broadly in two categories.
1)People who knew entrepreneurship was the Chosen Path. They took the plunge straight after their MBA or after working barely a few years. And they persevered until theymade it big!
