India's entrepreneurial landscape began flourishing long before independence was attained. Legendary families Tatas, Birlas, Godrejs, Wadias, Ruias, and Bajajs established their empires.

In Bombay, Dinshaw Petit and Jamsetjee Nusserwanjee Tata built huge industrial empires in India.

He is known for his philanthropic activities and equally being an exponent in the field of business. One such is that - “The factory should give back as much as it can to the community, which is the driving purpose of the Tata group.”

The History of Philanthropy -Using one's wealth and resources to help others was considered a virtue. In India, the ancient concept of dāna, or the act of giving, continues to be central to Hindu, Buddhist, and other religious traditions and it is believed that giving to others will bring good karma.

From about 1880 to his death in 1904, Jamsetji was consumed by what has to be the three great ideas of his life: setting up an iron and steel company, generating hydroelectric power, and creating a world-class educational institution that would tutor Indians in the sciences. Some of the stories in this book contain invaluable lessons about his persistence.

Jamsetji Tata’s ideas, guided the Tata group for over 150 years now which we all know very well, but How? Is what the book speaks about? There are a whole lot of Lessons for today’s managers, entrepreneurs, and students of business.
