What are the challenges and perks of handling age-old legacies? If you come into a position of power through a position of privilege, how do you make sure that you earn respect, more so if you are a woman? These and many more questions are what Daughters of Legacy seeks to answer through the stories of twelve successful women who grew up with strong business lineages. While Ashni Biyani, chief ideator, Future Group, looks at herself as a co-creator of the business rather than a just a legacy bearer, Manasi Kirloskar, executive director and CEO, Kirloskar Systems Ltd, admits that she is hugely privileged in inheriting a large business, but also goes on to point out that she could lose everyth...
The future of work will largely be shaped by demographics and technology. Essentially, how we work determines who gets to work. The more flexibility that exists, both in timing and workspaces, the more people can join the workforce. In this regard, policymakers, employers and industry bodies need to come together and create a new ecosystem to foster tech-enabled work models across the country. This book not only addresses the challenges of building an inclusive human capital framework for India but also highlights some unconventional ideas around work and models of employment which can create this much-needed inclusion. It is imperative that we adapt and shape the future of work possibilities around flexibility. By doing so, we can considerably address India’s jobs and employment challenges.
Have you ever considered quitting your high-paying corporate job to strike out on your own, only to be told by your inner voice-and a host of naysayers-that it is a silly dream? If yes, then this book is for you. As senior creative director of India's largest advertising agency, Neeti Palta had everything going for her till she gave it all up to become an accomplished standup comedian. After a remarkable stint as an RJ, Malini Agarwal took the entrepreneurial plunge and is today a media maven with her brand, Missmalini.com. Nothing, not a family keen to get her married nor a dreaded disease, could keep Kanika Tekriwal away from her true calling-her venture, JetSetGo, is redefining aviation. Dare to Be chronicles the success stories of fourteen such women who have dared to turn these pipe dreams into thriving enterprises. None of them inherited businesses, nor were they born into great wealth. These are ordinary women made extraordinary by the single-minded pursuit of their passion, and the courage they showed in the face of adversity. These are their stories. They could be yours.

What she discovered from the many highways she took to swades form the beating heart of this book. Highway to Swades is a quest to explore and rediscover the inherent civilizational powers shared by all Indians. Jani identifies twelve such superpowers and maps out how these can be called to action for the ...
