Acknowledgments

At the outset we would like to thank Prof. Vijay Page, Director General, MET Institute of Management for graciously accepting to write the foreword to our book and also for hosting its launch at the MET Convention Centre, Mumbai.

We would also like to thank all the companies and their CEOs for willingly participating in our book and in the video interviews by expressing their views in a free and frank manner.

We are grateful to Haresh Kundnani of Uttam videos for sparing no pains in editing and enhancing the quality of the video-interviews with the CEOs.

Special thanks are also due to J.K. Tandon, Max D’Costa, Jaideep Saptarshi and Renuka Pradhan, for arranging the interviews with CEOs.

To Kailas Chavan, Librarian of MET Institute of Management go our special thanks for encouraging us and enthusiastically agreeing to propagate our book amongst his fraternity.

We are indebted to Remya Ravindran for doing the groundwork for our cases and typing and retyping them as well. She also handled all the correspondence for our book in a willing and efficient manner. We thank Ali Raza for meticulously doing the typing work for Prof. Saptarshi.

We are thankful to the Pearson team consisting of Neeraj Bhalla, Sudipto Roy, Amrita Kar and others who have helped behind the scenes in the publishing of our book.

Last, but by no means the least, we wish to acknowledge the patience shown by our family members without whose goading and encouragement the book would not have become a reality.
