Product Description


Start-up City is about Bangalore and its booming software sector. It looks at how ten successful first-generation entrepreneurs got to where they are, what they learned along the way and, ultimately, why they chose Bangalore as their start-up city. In the process, it explores questions like: What makes successful entrepreneurs tick? Is it in their nature, or is it a function of how they were nurtured? What compels them to engage in unconventional, high-risk ventures?
