The Unusual Billionaires PDF Download

Description

What makes a company truly outstanding?
What is the secret sauce for delivering successful results year on year?
What is familiar to Asian Paints, HDFC Bank, Marico, Axis Bank, and Berger Paints?
They are Unusual Companies, built by Unusual Billionaires. The Unusual Billionaires tells the story of seven, truly outstanding companies which delivered 10 percent revenue growth over the last ten years and 15 percent return on capital employed. Simply put, these companies defeated 5000 other publicly listed companies to deliver high growth while maintaining profitability year-on-year for the last decade.
How did these companies do it? Why couldn't other companies reciprocate this? What are they doing differently?
Saurabh Mukherjea, the bestselling author of Gurus of Chaos, delivers an outstanding book with lessons to learn from these seven businesses. Mukherjea tells you why focusing on the core business could save a company's life or how giving control to top management could be a boon. Packed with these learnings are riveting corporate stories of how Hindustan Unilever made aggressive bids to buy Mariwala's business but had to sell it to the same company in a few years, or how Page Industries found an exciting way to stop unionization at their manufacturing units. It also includes the turnaround of Axis Bank and the boardroom coup that led to its chairman's downfall, and how Vijay Mallya lost control of Asian Paints to the Dhingra Brothers.
These and many more make this book a mandatory read for all corporate leaders to simulate and implement.
