The Reluctant Billionaire: How Dilip Shanghvi Became the Richest Self-made Indian

The book is a good read. Smart man, smart people. Inspiring story.

 

A book review from someone who's favorite author is probably Dr. Seuss. Quit watching reality shows. Do something to better yourself. Read, learn something. Gain some intellect. Lose your narrow mindedness. You seem limited, ignorant and angry about it.

 

“This proliferation of divisions, thought up by Shanghvi, also created an opportunity for many of the home-grown executives at Sun to rise up the ranks quickly, and discover the leader in them. Having been a witness to what recipes had resulted in Sun’s success, this set of home-grown leaders replicated variations of Sun’s fundamental models.”

“Abhay Gandhi, the then head of the cardiology division, was one of them who went on to become the CEO of Sun’s India business and subsequently led the US business in 2016. Back in the 1990s, concepts like joint fieldwork came alive when Gandhi as a GM opened his division’s review meeting by announcing his own call average. He announced the number of his doctor visits before everyone else declared their own. On countless occasions, Gandhi and his deputy Milan Sinha and medical representatives would report the same call average between ten and thirteen per day.”

“‘It was a clear formula. Who was generating the sale? The guy making the primary call, who happens to be the medical representatives. So when as a senior manager you land up in the field, you are not allowed to disturb his true programme. You cannot dictate his schedule; you must follow his programme as the frequency of his visits to doctors is controlled. If you have some other work, you can take the first-line or second-line manager along, but in no way can you upset the MR’s schedule,’ Sinha said. He felt that while in other companies joint fieldwork is passed off as a formality; it was in the blood and flesh of Sun’s line management.”

 

“‘When Dilip-bhai interprets law, it’s not a layman’s interpretation. He gets to the root of the problem. Because he is so great at deciphering the logic behind anything, stuff that flows from logic, say, law, he is superb at.’”

 

Nobody cares.....

 

You have too much time on your hands. Seriously.

 

I’m sure this is why we do everything by the book here in the US

 

HOnestly,I wouldn’t go to a happy hour meet and greet with open bar to meet this ass clown. Biggest blowhard ever.

 

Ashwin Dani noted that Shanghvi, innovative and entrepreneurial, had a fascination for Jews—known for their creative potential and entrepreneurial spirit. Someone said this was the closest Sun could get to declare its aspiration to become the next Teva, a belief that was further bolstered when other Teva veterans—Benny Klener, Hellen de Kloyt and Iftach Seri followed Makov. Someone else speculated that Sun has its eyes on Teva. Someone even asked, ‘Has he sacrificed himself to build his company?’
