Story
In April 2017, Prashant Desai founded a venture to build the first truly Indian sports brand - D:FY. In six months, Rajiv Mehta, who started Puma India and led it for seven years, joined him as a partner. They opened 17 stores in seven cities, riding on great aspirations and confidence. The business lost Rs 30 crore in 30 months, virtually wiping out all that Prashant had earned for nearly 30 years. The venture failed not because Prashant did not possess the necessary vision, determination, and courage.

Story
The year was 1983. A cotton trader, still in his early thirties, began to dream big. His aspiration was to become an 'industrialist'. The venture he was about to embark on was uncharted territory for him. He knew nothing about cement, limestone or anything remotely associated with it. In the era of Licence Raj, where everything from production to consumption was controlled by the government, Narotam Sekhsaria saw the huge potential in cement and its role in a growing nation.

This audiobook takes listeners from boardrooms to back rooms to reveal how a quintessential Indian brand from the house of the Tatas, not known till then for its success in the consumer goods market, reached such remarkable heights.

Great book feels like research paper/case study
If anyone has any interest in indian aviations its a nice book to read for them. Very insightful and well researched. The book provides a thorough account of how Indian aviation developed, where is the industry right now. It gives an overview of all(almost) the competitors in the market. Very detailed read felt like a long case study from hbr.
The performance was good nothing special i heard it at 1.25x speed and it was nothing to complain about. Users might need to adjust for themselves accordingly

it's possible to fight out a storm
This is an amazing take of grit and tenacity in the eye of storm, in adverse market conditions, where two people Rahul Bhatia and Gangwal made success possible in Airline industry and how. When airlines after airlines were going turtle, Indigo kept winning prizes, increasing it's fleet of planes, increased it's market share, maintained it's ontime performance and became India's number one airlines....

Excellent
The book not only will give one an idea regarding "The IndiGo Story", but rather will help get an insight into the rise of commercial aviation in India. Moreover, the book goes on to highlight the fact that how the LCC model of business gained traction in India. An excellent read for those remotely interested in aviation, especially the commercial aspect of it.

A well-researched book
This book is not just about Indigo, but starts with global history of aviation followed by Indian history of aviation, before finally unfolding the Indigo story. While there is a lot of research that has obviously gone into it, I was hoping to get more insights into Indigo par se.
The narration could be better!

The book not only gives detailed views of aviation industry but also covers intricacies of running the airline business. The learnings of the book can be taken to other segment as well. Good read for entrepreneurs from scale and mitigation of external threat point of view.

Better narrator needed...
The story itself was okay, but the narrating was very sub-par. Frequent and over-emphasised pauses in between lines are very frustrating.

Lacks specific examples, magazine article worthy
The book is pretty generic and missed on the opportunity of providing good examples of the story. It can rather be compressed into a magazine article and not worth a whole book. 4 stars for the effort of compiling and structuring the contents, but a lot of it is pretty repetitive.
It feels like it is intended for PR, though there is no PR content as such.
