About this listen

For nine years, Rajat Gupta led McKinsey & Co. - the first foreign-born person to head the world’s most influential management consultancy. He was also the driving force behind major initiatives such as the Indian School of Business and the Public Health Foundation of India. A globally respected figure, he sat on the boards of distinguished philanthropic institutions such as the Gates Foundation and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and corporations including Goldman Sachs, American Airlines, and Procter & Gamble.

In 2011, to the shock of the international business community, Gupta was arrested and charged with insider trading. Against the backdrop of public rage and recrimination that followed the financial crisis, he was found guilty and sentenced to two years in jail. Throughout his trial and imprisonment, Gupta has fought the charges and maintains his innocence to this day.

In this book, Gupta recalls his unlikely rise from orphan to immigrant to international icon as well as his dramatic fall from grace. He writes movingly about his childhood losses, reflects on the challenges he faced as a student and young executive in the United States, and offers a rare inside glimpse into the elite and secretive culture of McKinsey, “the Firm”. And for the first time, he tells his side of the story in the scandal that destroyed his career and reputation. Candid, compelling, and poignant, Gupta’s memoir is much more than a courtroom drama; it is an extraordinary tale of human resilience and personal growth.

I started reading this book just because I wanted to listen his story in his own voice. Sir Rajat Gupta's rise from the modest beginning has inspired thousands of young people in India. Even though he is a convicted felon, my heart refuses to believe so. To me he is a legend.
Talking about book, the narration is fantastic. You can really feel the very emotion behind the story narrated by him. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has great ambitions in his professional life and is looking for a role model to follow.

Loved this book every bit. Mr Gupta certainly did justice by narrating the story of a remarkable life..his life. This book should be a must read for management trainees and others who see themselves striving to reach higher echelons of corporate world .

The language of the book is simple, almost conversational and sounds every bit like a personal story being told by an elder at a family campfire. Mr Gupta’s decision to narrate this in his own voice helps complete the picture.

I admire the way he has mentioned wrongdoings of others or criticised many an important folks without an air of being oppositional or sounding bitter.

His ‘elder’ voice and at times imperfections in the narration has added to the human touch.

The middle section about his journey from Kolkatta to becoming a global corporate leader is an inspiring tale; yet it does not appear to be something which is an average hard working person cannot dream of !

The section about his trial is his version of the events and I choose to believe this.

As regards the incarceration, he has been motivated to work for prison reforms. I would urge Mr Gupta to once again work on global stage in this area and not concentrate only on American criminal justice system.


Overall an amazing book on a equally great life.
I recommend it wholeheartedly.
