It takes courage to find your own path in life and to follow it. You may dream of starting your own business, but how to begin? If you’re looking for encouragement towards entrepreneurship, read Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish: The inspiring stories of 25 IIM Ahmedabad graduates who chose to tread a path of their own making.

This book, written by Rashmi Bansal and published by Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad CIIE (Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entreprneurship), tells the real stories of how 25 people each started with an idea and built it into a highly successful organization. The book itself has been highly successful, selling over 100,000 copies in 9 months.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish is now being translated into 8 languages. Tonight, Rashmi launched the Hindi translation at the Ambience Mall in Gurgaon. She was joined by some entrepreneurs from the pages of her book:
