Delighted to being a first time author, Sidharth Rao, CEO and Co-Founder of Dentsu Webchutney, says, “I consider myself privileged to have had the opportunity to pick the brains of so many icons of India’s internet story. Webchutney and I have both been on the other side of the table with some of these founders and their companies as marketing partners, and now I’m excited to tell their stories about their fortitude, courage, hard work and sometimes dumb luck that helped them succeed. I will forever remain grateful to them for freewheeling conversations with me that helped me write the book. I hope it will be liked by the readers and to those who have the potential to start their own businesses.”
