In 2003, Tata Consultancy Services set itself a mission: "Top Ten by 2010". In 2009, a year ahead of schedule, TCS made good on that promise; in 14 years, the company had transformed itself from the $155 million operation that S. Ramadorai inherited as CEO in 1996. Today it is one of the world’s largest IT software and services companies with more than 240,000 people working in 42 countries, and annual revenues of over $10 billion. In this fascinating book, S. Ramadorai, one of the country’s most respected business leaders, recounts the steps to that extraordinary success.

The 19th century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India. The Tatas is a tribute to a line of visionaries who have a special place in the hearts and minds of ordinary Indians. Written by seasoned journalist Girish Kuber, this is also the only book that tells the complete Tata story spanning almost 200 years.

It was their shared empathy for homeless dogs that sparked an unlikely friendship. In 2014, Shantanu Naidu, an automobile design engineer in his early 20s, developed an innovation to save the local strays from being run over by speeding cars. Ratan Tata, himself known for his compassion for stray dogs, took note. Impressed, he not only decided to invest in the venture, but over the years became a mentor, boss, and an unexpectedly dear friend to Shantanu.

Publisher's Summary
For over five decades, Azim Hasham Premji has been one of the trailblazers of India Inc. Taking over his family business of vegetable oils at the young age of 21 after the untimely demise of his father, he built one of India's most successful software companies along with a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate. As of 2019, he was the 10th-richest person in India, with an estimated net worth of 7.2 billion dollars. Yet, the one facet of the man which has overshadowed even his business achievements is his altruism. His commitment to the Azim Premji Foundation, a non-profit focused on education, totals around 21 billion dollars, making him one of the world's top philanthropists.
Azim Premji: The Man Beyond the Billions, the first authoritative biography of the icon, shows how Premji is a philanthropist at heart and a businessman by choice - a man who wanted to give away his billions, but realized early enough that he would first have to earn them. It peels the layers off Premji's life while chronicling his professional and charitable work in the context of his many strengths and shortcomings.
Based on interviews with hundreds of current and past Wipro executives, who have over the years worked closely with him, as well as with competitors, analysts, family friends, and industry associates, this is a journalist's account of Premji the man, the businessman, and the philanthropist.

wonderful book but more focused on later years
loved it over all but it lacked depth and research. it hardly covers whole story of how wipro was made. author mostly shared generic outlook and events rather then dive in and find more detailed and wholesome story.

Good one.
The book throws some light on the areas as to why Wipro's IT business is not as good as its comparable peers. In my opinion, little more detail on the success of IT business would have added value to the book.

To portray Azim Premji, an individual who is more of an introvert is always challenging. Authors do justice to his persona in an unbiased manner. A must read for budding entrepreneurs as well as IT professionals to know how India became a major IT center.
