HARSH MARIWALA, Founder and Chairman of Marico recently wrote a book, ‘Harsh Realities: The Making of Marico’, which is co-authored by business guru Professor Ram Charan. According to Mariwala, his maiden book is a memoir about his business journey, learnings of the industry, and experiences from working with his family. The first-time author wanted to pen down a business book full of emotions and anecdotes along with insights and facts. In a recent conversation with BW Businessworld, the veteran businessman put forward the thought behind his book, the best of his tales, and the need to build a culture of innovation.
The thought behind the book
When Mariwala attended events even in the pre-Covid times, people would usually suggest to him that he capture his journey in a book since he has lived a life full of experiences to learn from. “This passively was stuck in my mind, and I was sure to write a book at some stage of my life. Then I stepped down as the Managing Director of Marico, however, I still hold the chairman’s position.”
Mariwala believes that writing a book is not an easy task. “Also, I had no experience in writing before.” The entrepreneur-turned-author went through his learning curve to carve his narration and even decided how the chapters should look like.
