‘Wise Wealth’ by Rajmohan Krishnan is an excellent book that recounts the personal experiences and insights of 35 leading top business leaders who represent the emerging breed of ‘Wisely Wealthy’. They have demonstrated how to create wealth and simultaneously transform businesses into globally competitive, ethical, humane organizations, without resorting to exploitation of scarcity or gaming the system, as was the case earlier to economic reforms in 1991.
It showcases the elusive middle path of pursuing wealth creation along with values and ethics, through the actual experiences and insights of iconic leaders who have become role-models by virtue of their stupendous business success achieved by participating in this economic transformation of India, and also by influencing and leading the change.
