Synopsis

Founded in 1868 by Jamshetji Tata, the Tata Group symbolizes the great Indian story of hope, growth and phenomenal success.The group played the role of a nation builder in post- independent India. Its companies were headed by legendary chairpersons, all of whom firmly believed in the importance of continuously learning and growing. What can we learn from the individual stories that come together to form this inspiring narrative? Like all great successes, this isn't one story-it is many accounts that are so powerful that the whole is so much greater than the sum of all its parts. In The Learning Factory, Arun Maira narrates people-centric episodes that bring alive the values of the Tata Group, standards that combine the high-velocity practices as well as the old-fashioned principles that make the Tata Group the giant it is today. With insightful stories of conduct that are as practically implementable as they are inspiring, this is a blueprint for the individual as well as the business that seeks success through its community of leaders, workers and thinkers.

Goodreads review by Rohan on November 07, 2020

The book seemed more a collection of essays written at different times, with considerable reiteration of facts and settings before coming to the actual anecdotes itself. Overall I still enjoyed the book, it's a quick read, and there are some takeaways from it. Although, I wish the author delved deep......more
