An Epic Startup Journey: Startup Secrets From The Ramayana

Hello Friends,

Generally we all are very much attached to our mythology. Since our childhood we have been hearing stories from epics like the Ramayana, the Mahabharata & many more. They are such esteemed heritage of ours that we keep going back to them for the values & lessons they teach us. These epics have stories & lessons related to every phase of life. Interestingly we apply those learnings in our life even today. At times it may sound a bit weird that how can stories of distant past be relevant in today's world. But that's a fact. Today I am going to talk about one such book which corelates the learnings from our ancient mythology with the modern day business world in an extremely interesting manner. Let's find out the details.

Startup Secrets From The Ramayana is an excellent work by Prachi Garg connecting life lessons from the Ramayana with the journey of a modern day entrepreneur. Sounds strange?? How can stories from mythology be connected with entrepreneurship? But that's the beauty of this book. The way the entire narration has been completed is commendable. Author Prachi Garg wears multiple hats being a startup founder, bestselling author, motivational speaker & featured columnist for leading media houses. She has authored the 'Super' series comprising of three books named "Superwomen", "Supercouples", "Supersiblings". Her fiction work named "The Legends Of a startup Guy" is one among the best on entrepreneurship. Startup secrets from the Ramayana is her another effort on entrepreneurial journey with a different flavor added to it.

This book is the retelling of the Ramayana where Lord Ram moves out of Ayodhya along with wife Sita & beloved brother Lakshman and moves forward in life with various ups & downs. The entire story has been depicted here in comparison with an entrepreneur who is starting from the scratch. The entire journey has been explained further including all the challenges that entrepreneurs face & the skillsets they develop along the way to succeed in long run. Every chapter talks about a particular business lesson. Fascinating part is the way in which Lord Ram's journey has been linked to the said business lesson. Entire story consists of simple language & interesting comparisons which hold the readers' interest intact. Every chapter concludes with a gist of business lesson discussed. Explaining one of the most popular epics from Indian mythology in the backdrop of modern day business world is a work the author should be applauded for. Her way of presenting various characters from the Ramayana with reference to the business world is something to look out for.

Entrepreneurship is one of the most sought after topic of the current generation. We come across lot of books, articles, videos related to the same. We all want to know about an entrepreneur's journey. That urge drags us to the resources which give a fair amount of idea on the topic. There are lot of books available where various aspects of entrepreneurship have been told in a simple manner. This book is no exception to that. Additionally the mythological touch makes it even more interesting. Amazing to find how lessons taught years ago are still so relevant . Simplicity is one of the prominent features of this book, be it in language, overall design or the narration. Taking reference from a completely different generation would have made the entire purpose of the book complex. But the author ensured that doesn't happen throughout. She has done it with utmost ease. Even the title of the book is so simple & self explanatory. Any budding entrepreneur must grab a copy of it to learn a few useful strategies about entrepreneurship and if you are a mythology enthusiast then it's a double delight for you.
