I Did What I Had To Do

By Anjana Dutt

"A remarkable book about a remarkable personality-unique in India's post-independence economic history. Madan's journey in building an Indian MNC straddles 20th century conservatism and 21st century globalisation, and is a must read for entrepreneurs of all hues."
- PD Rai Former Lok Sabha MP, Sikkim

"Madan's story would help millions of entrepreneurs across the world. The book will motivate the reader to develop the ability to take risk cautiously and will satiate his thirst for constant learning. This thought-provoking book will be a very useful resource for students and libraries globally."
- Dr Sharad Sarin, Former Senior Professor XLRI, Jamshedpur

"This is a fascinating book about a honourable man who prioritizes integrity and regard for others over self-preservation, and not so as to seek recognition but as a matter of an inner stance of self-regard. Unsurprisingly we read about a list of things for which he is then honoured such as being trusted and loved by his team, having his advice taken by mentees, and people foregoing economic benefit to work for him. Here finally is a book about a capitalism of regard for others before oneself."
- Errol D'Souza, Director IIM, Ahmedabad

"This book is a great guide to business leaders, especially those, who have the passion to build from scratch. Through many examples and incidences, it elaborates Madan's commitment to society and employees. His willingness to learn from mentors like Dr Antia and others and implement those learnings underscores his humility."
- Hemant Nerurkar, Former MD, Tata Steel
