The use of the word Kunji intrigued me as it was a widely used terminology for the so-called 'guide' books in our school days. But then that is perhaps the purpose of this book; to guide and inspire the youth with 20 entrepreneurial journeys from various business domains. The startup world is mostly canvassed around all the great ideas, brainstorming sessions and success of the venture, but it is imperative that we also showcase the problems that arise and the ways to overcome them. As someone who has spent almost 15 years in the ever-evolving PR and Media industry, if my story can inspire and guide even ten budding minds, I will think that I have given back to the industry that has given me so much recognition. This book is a great initiative by Raj, and I sincerely wish him all the success with Startup Kunji."
