About the book
The lessons were there all along.
This is not a traditional business book. It is a collection of real memories—some funny, some painful, all honest—that reveal how leadership and entrepreneurship are often learned long before we enter a boardroom.
Through stories of sacrifice, courage, creativity and everyday problem-solving, Kamal Budhabhatti reflects on the woman who quietly shaped the way he would later build businesses across Africa and Asia.
At its heart, this is a book about a mother. The business lessons simply emerged from the life she lived.
