ABOUT THE BOOK

Society tends to glorify the get-rich-quick entrepreneurs-build a
company, take it public and then (maybe) give to charity.

In this book, Tarun Khanna and Geoffrey Jones interview iconic business
leaders from India who have demonstrated leadership to last. There are
interviews of business leaders from South Asia and other emerging
markets that illustrate how these counterparts of Indian entrepreneurs
in the so-called Global South echo their views. These Indian magnates,
including Ratan Tata, Adi Godrej, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Rahul Bajaj, etc.,
have built, to general acclaim and acknowledgement, organizations that
are seen as forward-looking and innovative, subscribe to a code of ethics
and generally contribute to the betterment of society. The authors
demonstrate that this trifecta is a lot harder to achieve than a unicorn
status.

This book draws on a large set of in-depth interviews with business
leaders across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East conducted
by Harvard faculty as part of the Creating Emerging Markets (CEM)
project. The reader will be humbled by the combination of audacity (of
intent), humility (of demeanour) and steadfastness (of purpose)
displayed by the giants whose life lessons are narrated here.
