Entrepreneurs from 2.4 Billions are affecting your life


“Billions of Entrepreneurs: How China and India are Reshaping Their Futures and Yours” is excellent book written nicely by Tarun Khanna


Tarun has captured many current, past stories about India and China and presented them in a right manner. It lays the strengths and gapping holes in both India and China.
He has always kept the main subject of the book in focus while writing those stories – no deviation from the subject even though a few topics require a separate book.

You may have many book shelf for subjects like “Politics”, “Economics”, “Current Affairs” etc.. , the “Billions of Entrepreneurs” belongs to all these book shelves. Tarun presented the stories, the numbers and made the conclusions in a right manner.

The book gives good commentary on Indias “soft power” and Chinas “Hard power” . The book also sheds light on Neharu’s comments in 1950 –“During these thousand years… each country (China and India) learned something from each other, not only in region of thoughts and philosophy, but also in the arts and science of life. Probably China was more influenced by India, than India by China, which is pity, for India could well have received, with profit to herself…..”


The book covers stories about Enterprises like Mahindra and Mahindra , GE which has cross-border collaborations affecting life’s of China, India and the world.

The book also touches the questions like – Can company really make profits in China/India? How much time it takes to get the fruits from the investments or how much returns one should really expect from the investments?


This is one of the best book – you must have if you are of Entrepreneur mind, you must have this book if you ever deal with people from China/India in any time in life.
