(2) Gita Piramal More often than not, a journalist’s viewpoint is considered to be critical, biased and dynamic. But a journalist with a PhD in business history is a potentially intense combination. This profile describes, Gita Piramal an author who has written for many years on the corporate sector for leading Indian and international publications such as the Financial Times and the Economic Times, and is a consulting editor of the World Executive’s Digest. She also has been involved in the making of television programmes on Indian business for the BBC and Plus Channel.

She divides her time between London and Mumbai. Through her works, she describes the Indian corporate sector with Indian historical and political references as the foundation. How earlier systems have an influence on contemporary operations and radical changes or ‘Business Mantras’ required to keep abreast in this dynamic environment. Gita Piramal is one of India’s foremost business writers. She is now the managing editor of The Smart Manager, India’s first world-class management magazine.

(7) Shiv Khera In this dog-eat-dog business world, if you are not self motivated, self confident and unique, you WILL be trampled over. At such times look into the works of the distinguished management guru and motivator, Shiv Khera. His gospel:- "Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently” Shiv Khera is the founder of Qualified Learning Systems Inc. An educator, business consultant, a much sought after speaker and a successful entrepreneur. He has taken his dynamic personal message around the world. Shiv has been recognized as a "Louis Marchesi Fellow" by the Round Table Foundation. His client list includes the who’s who of the corporate world. He has authored three bestsellers, amongst other books. His first book “You Can Win”, which came out in 1998, has sold over a million copies worldwide. His second book “Living With Honour” hit the stands in August 2003, becoming an instant bestseller. Then within a span of six months in February 2004, his third book “Freedom Is Not Free” was released, also to become a bestseller. His first two books are on an individualistic level, where he defines the winning edge as achieving excellence rather than perfection, as excellence paves the way for progress. He also conveys that it is better to be honourable than to be honoured. His work offers direction for living with pride in a cluttered environment. His latest book concentrates on society. Here he firmly believes that a progressive society is the basis for individual progress of its people. Transforming his years of experience as a motivator into a practical tool, he has developed a core program/workshop known as the Blueprint for Success (BPS). This program motivates people to recognize their true potential and gain success personally and professionally. Books by Shiv Khera

With reference to the adage ‘An idea is only a thought until it is materialised’, the most successful Business Thinkers are those who have ensured the successful implementation of their thoughts. In the past, the benefit of such resourceful business practices was limited to only those

Rachana Mallya says, "If I had to describe myself in a nutshell, I can compare myself to a mirror. I believe that “what you reflect is what you get”.

(7) Shiv Khera In this dog-eat-dog business world, if you are not self motivated, self confident and unique, you WILL be trampled over. At such times look into the works of the distinguished management guru and motivator, Shiv Khera. His gospel:- "Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently” Shiv Khera is the founder of Qualified Learning Systems Inc. An educator, business consultant, a much sought after speaker and a successful entrepreneur. He has taken his dynamic personal message around the world. Shiv has been recognized as a "Louis Marchesi Fellow" by the Round Table Foundation. His client list includes the who’s who of the corporate world. He has authored three bestsellers, amongst other books. His first book “You Can Win”, which came out in 1998, has sold over a million copies worldwide. His second book “Living With Honour” hit the stands in August 2003, becoming an instant bestseller. Then within a span of six months in February 2004, his third book “Freedom Is Not Free” was released, also to become a bestseller. His first two books are on an individualistic level, where he defines the winning edge as achieving excellence rather than perfection, as excellence paves the way for progress. He also conveys that it is better to be honourable than to be honoured. His work offers direction for living with pride in a cluttered environment. His latest book concentrates on society. Here he firmly believes that a progressive society is the basis for individual progress of its people. Transforming his years of experience as a motivator into a practical tool, he has developed a core program/workshop known as the Blueprint for Success (BPS). This program motivates people to recognize their true potential and gain success personally and professionally. Books by Shiv Khera

—About our writer:
Rachana Mallya says, "If I had to describe myself in a nutshell, I can compare myself to a mirror. I believe that “what you reflect is what you get”. With this phrase being self explanatory, you may now understand why I consider constructive criticism so important. It is an essential approach in relating to what readers experience."
