This is story of Subhashish Chakraborty, the owner of the DTDC . Though I was aware about DTDC but really had now idea about the owner. Indeed his journey is nothing less than a fairy tale combined with hard work, astute brain and risk taking ability. He came from a non descript West Bengal village, born in a poor family and the book covers how he went on to become Calcutta University topper and made a big fortune with Peerless group. Later started DTDC and with lots of struggles wherein his brother and other partners betrayed him ..yet with his integrity and hard work he reached where he is. Among the biographies of business tycoons I have read, this book is very well written but strangeley there are no pics of Mr Chakraborty and his journey in the book. In the end author has also compiled life lessons from his journey. Overall a very well written book..worth a read

Extremely straight to the heart. Simple language and even simpler principles of life but difficult to cultivate and sustain. Well worth a read.

Passion – the magic word which drives millions of minds and hearts is a character honed by some people only. Many fall prey to the vicious circles of life and during the course of action they mistakenly consider their need as their passion. They do dream to deliver but they lack the dare and the rest – the go getters, they do dare to deliver. Surprisingly, the souls that come out victorious of the odds of life despite all bottlenecks; those who dream to dare to deliver need to be introduced at every turn of a road called life and this biography is one such story which is about learning the art of delivery beyond all dares and dreams.
This story is about Subhashish Chakraborty, the owner of the DTDC chain.
No story is a story without a skillful storyteller. To be put in simpler words, his story would have been lost with passage of time had it not been engraved into history with wise words from the pen of Priya Kumar.
She is a skillful writer (in addition to more skills into her portfolio) and one more time she proves her mettle with this latest venture of her. She had beautifully presented the noteworthy incidents all across the pages. The tone, the language, the continuity – all the elements have been well taken care of.
