Publisher's Summary

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.

Mr. Gupta is an inspiration. Amazing!

This book was awe-inspiring. Loved the narration and honest perspective about so many issues in our society. Must be read by every professional to understand the complexity in today's world. Many a times there is no black or white, but grey areas in life's tricky situation.

Karmyogi

While the overall narrative and story was fabulous, I specifically liked the last few chapters describing his experience in prison. He coming closer to his own true self and Bhagvad-gita. The sincerity of his voice makes you feel present in the moments he is describing. Amazing Audio !

Truly enriching

Such a brilliant way of opening oneself and one’s life story in front of the world. Having lived a life of the dreams, a life and success attained through consistent and performance driven deeds right from the school days, Rajat sir takes you through the emotional yet enriching journey of his life.
By the end of it, you become too eager to believe his version of the story and view him in a new and even more revered light of integrity and inspiration.
The fact that he chooses to lend his own voice to the audio version of his book speaks volumes of his sincere and honest and confident view of himself and his self belief that he did nothing wrong at all to have deserved that harsh and severe public ignominy, financial fines and physical incarceration.
Thanks a lot audible and Rajat sir for this masterpiece.
