What All Can Go Wrong and How It Does: The Diary of an IITian
()
About this ebook
The book is a potpourri of episodes (not necessarily in chronological order) of the author's entrepreneurial journey in a cutting-edge industry, working with government organizations. Each of the episodes is a story in itself. Going through them one can get the feel of running an engineering company in the late 1990’s all the way to the current day. Though the episodes make the reader wonder at the series of misfortunes, mostly circumstantial, it
is not all sad reading. There are many instances of humor which give the reader an insight into author’s mental makeup and his ability to persevere in the face of adversity to make a success of his enterprise. The lucid narration makes the stories gripping in spite of the tragic content.
