Anaggh Desai writes about Stay Hungry:

A nice easy read, catering to the youth, motivating them to take risks, not travel the trodden path… The take away at the end of each section are pretty good, sometimes bit of IIT/IIM coming through. Personally would have liked a common one at the end.

He has thoughtfully provided his own takeaways:

• An IIT/IIM provides a job security normally not available to others.
• Most of the featured entrepreneurs had spouse who were batch mates & even when not, held a job to keep home fires burning, removing the worry.
• The network that IIT/IIM offers (not that everybody is able to exploit it)provides a good parachute.
• Practically nobody has done an IIT & IIM with the express purpose of turning entrepreneur, it happens on the way.

V V K Chandra a ka Webgeek notes on his blog:

Every chapter ends with few paragraphs of advice for young entrepreneurs from the person profiled in that chapter. This is what I liked the most in the book – quick words of wisdom for budding entrepreneurs from these successful entrepreneurs.

And this, very touching email came from Vinay, an engineering student.

I read your book ‘stay hungry stay foolish’ .Its a great book and provides a lot of inspiration for students and also those students like me who are not that good in academics . I thought placement was end of the game in final year . I lost one year and am not eligible for placements . After reading your book i got a new ray of hope about life !

And this last one reminds me that in life we can all use a pick-me-up

Dear Rashmi,
First of all a big thanks to you for writing an interesting book like STAY HUNGRY, for two reasons:
a) Its inspiring and helped me a lot in regaining my self confidence, which i have lost in my first two ventures as entrepreneur.
b) Its a book which will help the readers, in having a clear & transparent vision for their own life. Apart from this, I shall be grateful to you if will continue this as a series and keep inspiring the youth of India.

Thanks & Regards
