review 1: Amazing book on Gujratis and their style of doing business. Insider account of 5 Gujratis ranging from Diamond trader to Tube manufacturer to Salesman to Motelier(Mayor). Shobha Bondre has done a fabulous job on scripting stories of the individuals in a fashion of inspiring stories which they indeed are.The 5 people include 4 Patels and 1 Shah family :-Diamond trader = Bhimjibhai PatelAluminium Tube manufacturer = Mohanbhai PatelMotelier-cum-Mayor = Dalpatbhai PatelNew York Life Insurance TOP Agent = Jaydev PatelHotelier = Hasu & Hersha ShahAll 5 stories are heart warming and totally inspiring to read. It envisages the fact that Gujratis are true entrepreneurs. I especially loved the story of Mohanbhai Patel who has established himself in India and in a particularly diffic... moreult sector of manufacturing. After reading his piece, I sat for a while imagining the life struggles this man has gone through and fought back. An absolute respect comes naturally for him.Other stories too are inspiring in terms that these people established themselves, being away from home and still attached to home through various initiatives like Jaydev who rebuilt 2 schools in his hometown.It is a heartwarming tale indeed. Thanks a lot Shobha.
review 2: Dhandha is a very well written compilation of success stories of Gujarati businessmen in and outside the country. The book is a perfect depiction of how a business mindset works. How a Gujarati looks for a business opportunity out of nothing and how calculative he/she is while taking risks. Out of all the stories, I liked the first one the most which talks about how a poor fellow goes to become a diamond king. It highlights various points that need to be taken care of if someone wants to grow big - vision, desire to grow, honesty, skillset, extreme hardwork, unflinching dedication and optimism towards your goal. It's a good inspirational read.I will give it a 4.5/5. less
