Story
The pioneer who gate-crashed his way to the top, Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider, repeatedly aiming high and breaking into businesses where he was considered an interloper. Starting work as a teen to pay off family debts, Chandra had to rely on bluff, gumption, and sheer hard toil to turn things around.

Srinagar in the winter of 1989 was an eerie ghost town witnessing the beginnings of a war dance. The dam burst the night JKLF boys were freed in exchange for the release of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. As Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah had predicted, the government's caving in emboldened many Kashmiris into thinking that azaadi was possible. 'The price we will have to pay' were Farooq's prophetic words.

Attempt has been made to introduce the listener to the spirit and outlook of Indian philosophy and help him to grasp thoroughly the central ideas rather than acquaint him with minute details.

In The Zero-Cost Mission, India's relations with Bangladesh are undermined by the activities of the Jamaat-e-Islami, whose camps and facilities are being used to help Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. The Wily Agent details the pitfalls of gathering intelligence in a foreign country, a delicate and complex business. A good source, however, can make the risks worthwhile.

Looks like a Puff piece from Indigo PR
Disappointing to listen to this, audible should have better standards. It’s a Indigo PR effort for sure. No depth, unique insights or anything original. No Indigo story about how the promoters got together, nothing about diff personalities involved - a two dimensional cut out. Indian aviation has such interesting stories and personalities. The politics, interesting financial strategies and tactics employed. I do not recommend this book at all

A well-researched book
This book is not just about Indigo, but starts with global history of aviation followed by Indian history of aviation, before finally unfolding the Indigo story. While there is a lot of research that has obviously gone into it, I was hoping to get more insights into Indigo par se.
The narration could be better!

Good summary of Indian aviation
This book has an amazing start for anyone interested in the history of aviation. I expected more about what decisions the Founders took to step up the game and what their thought process was. Instead this came across as more of a compilation of news articles and milestone moments which was fun too

Poor Narration
The narrative could have been so much better. Sometimes, the narrative is no better than an automated reader. E.g. at one place, the narrator read out a list of 27 airports! No one who is listening to the audiobook can make any sense out of it. The accent is also weird at places.

The book not only will give one an idea regarding "The IndiGo Story", but rather will help get an insight into the rise of commercial aviation in India. Moreover, the book goes on to highlight the fact that how the LCC model of business gained traction in India. An excellent read for those remotely interested in aviation, especially the commercial aspect of it.

An enjoyable book that is well read
Beautiful that the book was read by an indian with an Indian flavor and accent to go with the story of an Indian success in aviation. This added a cultural depth that made the technical story even more interesting. Those who have a love for avaiation, especially the stories of success of the low cost/superior quality concept, will find this book interesting. I also enjoyed the chapters covering the evolution of the airline industry in India, and placing it in the context of the evolution of the airline industry world-wide.. Overall an enjoyable book, and well read..
