 Quite some time back, I got my hands on the book titled 7 Sutras of Innovation written by Nikhil Inamdar with Marico Innovation Foundation, which was very kindly sent to me by Jaico Pubblishing House. I flipped through the first few pages to unveil that it delineates the stories of t 8 thriving companies and their journey of transformation.

The 8 organizations covered in this book belong to different domains. They differ in the size,business idea and model, structure and operations. The only similarity they shared - 7 sutras of innovation. These remarkable thriving organizations followed diligently the 7 sutras of innovation which helped them to turn things around. It's these mantra that supported their transition from being a start-up to scale-up .
