Want to buy paperbacks of them all? Here's Kishore Biyani's Book recommendation wish list
It Happened In India: The Story of Pantaloons, Big Bazaar, Central and the Great Indian Consumer
“I have also read my fair share of autobiographies written by foreign and Indian entrepreneurs. But no book strikes me more than Verghese Kurien's autobiography, I Too Had a Dream. Kurien's story is of a genuine Indian folk hero.
Sam Walton : Made In America
“ I couldn't help but get inspired by Sam Walton, the iconic founder of the chain. I have learned some of the most enduring lessons of business from a heavily underlined and dog-eared copy of the classic Made in America.”
“A book I would like to recommend to everyone is Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It provides a step-by-step framework for living and working, based on some fundamental principles or natural laws.”
“Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingstone Seagull have inspired many of us within the organisation and helped us achieve what others thought impossible”
“Another equally motivating book is Anthony Robbins' Awaken the Giant Within. It explores how every human being can live up to their true potential."
Further recommended readings:
“Among my favourites is Howard Schultz's Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time. Schultz proved that it is simplicity and passion coupled with a spirit of innovation that lies at the root of creating a great consumer experience. There are other equally fascinating books written on retailers like Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank's How a Couple of Regular Guys Grew The Home Depot from Nothing to $30 billion; lngvar Kamprad's Leading By Design: The IKEA Story;and Marvin Traub's Like No Other Store; The Bloomingdale's Legend and Revolution in American Marketing.”
“Peters' books, A Passion for Excellence and Re-Imagine are both provocative and inspiring. The thought process with which we are today building our organisation is in fact quite similar to that of Tom Peters.”
