[Tushar Maheshwari · Rating 3 out of 5]

Books good, but gets quiet repetitive at the end, not soemthing unique about the last 2 groups of business. Whats motivates is the fact that any person from any upbringing can become soemthing. Suggestion for the writtern for “Paiso 2” will be to do on gujarati businessman. Thanks!
