"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal“Above and Beyond is a wonderful creation which describes more than its title. It is a must read for those who are looking further than just leading a business successfully, towards building enduring institutions.
The authors through live examples drawn from their vast experience having worked together in building an institution, and later helping many others to do so, have shown that this is possible with care and concern for people while encouraging and supporting them to take on challenges without any fear.
Truly insightful and inspirational.”

Above and Beyond : How to Build Impactful Businesses, Where Everybody Wins! begins at a point where most management books end—profits, shareholder wealth and success.
According to the authors, truly great organisations do not stop there; they leap to the space beyond excellence. This leap itself is powered by a foundation of solid values, a goal towards a common good and the realisation of a larger purpose, which help the organisation make a significant impact on the world outside.
