I would recommend this to any one who is thinking about entrepreneurship especially in the technology domain. Though the times and technologies have changed, the inherent spirit of the entrepreneur and the way he goes about will remain the same.

I am sure no internet user is unaware of Make My Trip, flipkart. Even if most of non internet users are aware of shaadi.com. What can be the better treat for upcoming entrepreneurs than deep through knowledge of these well established brands.

It is very much a Rashmi Bansal type of book. If you like her book than The Mouse Charmer is of your type giving enough information about the companies and background to enhance your knowledge about these digital enterprises of how exactly they work. The book is very informative in this regard but deep analysis is lacking.

The focus of the book is to lay before the readers a set of Indian Entrepreneurs who made brands out of their ideas, and became successful in converting an idea into a successful business venture. Given the nascent nature of this industry, the author has further decided not to go too technical on us - whether in terms of technology, or in terms of business jargon and strategies, and has opted to k

For content, the authoress chose Zomato, Games2win, ImagesBazaar and Chai with Lakshmi. These are the sites we normally visit whenever we need to garner knowledge about something. Zomato for food, Games2Win for games, ImagesBazaar for images and the last for wonderful and inspirational webisodes (web episodes).

by Ankita S

It would be hard to pinpoint one because I enjoyed reading this book for several reasons. This is not the kind of book you can skim through or read while munching or waiting for someone in a noisy café; rather, it is more of a repository and knowledge bank on the online industry in India with several charts and case studies. Needless to mention, the author has done a commendable job!

Praise for The Mouse Charmers

‘Are Indian companies and start-ups missing something important by ignoring local language viewers and users of digital content? Are women entrepreneurs too shy of boasting about their achievements? What kind of eco-system will make the life of start-ups in digital age smoother and more meaningful are some of the questions this books addresses, rather well. Those who wish to enter and shake up the inertia in digital markets may find this book useful. But those who wish to support them may find it even more useful.’

Prof Anil K. Gupta, Professor at IIM Ahmedabad and founder of Honey Bee Network

‘Anuradha Goyal’s The Mouse Charmers is a fascinating account of India’s trailblazing digital entrepreneurs... Well researched and with deep insights into how these businesses work, The Mouse Charmers will inspire others to both study Indian entrepreneurs like Goyal has done or take up the challenge of entrepreneurship like those she writes about have done. Either way this is an important, timely and inspiring book that showcases the opportunities that India offers and the challenges that have to be overcome along the way.’

Jaideep Prabhu, Professor at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge and co-author of the bestselling Jugaad Innovation

 

‘The Internet has transformed business and society. Today to very many of us, life without the web is unimaginable. In business a new breed of entrepreneurs have sprung up whose whole life is the web, creating new business models, reaching new markets and becoming the new normal. These stories are inspiring examples of such successes!’

T.V. Mohandas Pai, Chairman, Aarin Capital Partners
