Posted: 26 Aug 2021, 17:13
[Following is a volunteer review of "Underdog Thinking" by Atul Vir.]
Atul Vir is an Indian from the famous Kshatriya class of the Indian caste system. A class directly behind the Brahmins and above the Vaishya. Atul though from a military and administrative class, finds himself in an entrepreneurial journey that pulls far above his native caste system. Consequently, Atul Vir in this book Underdog Thinking shares the story of his exploits. Having attended a boarding school in India, he had to leave India at the age of 25 to London. Atul started working for a company that has branches in Africa. He aided in resolving the Abidjan corruption crises that left almost all the senior staffs in jail. The Nigerian coup how ever, ended up crashing the company and he returned to start a business in America. To solve a problem one needs to identify the problem. Atul in a quest for entrepreneurial advancement, fell into the idea of importing - to manufacturing a combo washing machine which seemed obsolete in America. The journey of survival thus began. With Manager Campari and Romano, Atul developed the Equator combo machine for American use. How ever, Americans were wavering in accepting these new product. Atul is therefore caught in a web of making his product a success amidst other competitors. A tale of betrayals, double crossings, greed, lack of accountability and lack of ethics. Howbeit, did Atul's Underdog 'Equator' survive?
Atul Vir is an impact visionary, a focused entrepreneur and a wonderful mentor as presented in this book. The writers combination of story and entrepreneurial guide is appreciable. The chapter arrangement is fair and easily readable. The name of the book is also friendly and decodable. The comments about the book are quite encouraging and the writers weave of events are spectacular.
Nevertheless, the work has poor editorial study. Continuous and long sentences were countless. The writer also made use of commas more than the first 50 pages of a dictionary. The title of the book also is conflicting, it appears to be appropriate but considered from the perspective of the content proper it is not satisfactory because the book contains more guide about entrepreneur skill development than a mere story of his company and product.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 because its a proper guide for aspiring entrepreneurs. It has a guide that has been proven to be effective. A guide that has been presented with the sharing of a life story.
The book is greatly recommended for aspiring entrepreneurs. Also youths can benefit from the wealth of knowledge contained in this book.
