This is one book that thousands of Indians may want to read, as part inspiration, part cautionary tale.FILE PHOTO: Rajat Gupta, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Procter & Gamble board member, arrives at Manhattan Federal Court in New York, June 4, 2012. There have been several books about him, but this one is obviously from the horse’s mouth.Īnd while Juggernaut won’t say how much it paid, the acquisition of the rights to publish it in India is certainly a coup. Now that Gupta is a free man again, his memoir is obviously hot property. Till something got the better of him and he leaked secrets he shouldn’t have to hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, an act for which he was pronounced guilty of insider trading and then sentenced to prison, though in the softest possible way – at correctional facilities and finally at home. But while such books may not always hold interest, the one that Rajat Gupta, the former blue-eyed boy of global consulting, has written holds special interest.Īfter all, Gupta is from India, the Bengali whiz kid from IIT Delhi who actualised the dreams of thousands of engineer-MBAs in the country: a glittering career in corporate America that culminated as the head of McKinsey & Co., at that time the most prestigious consulting firm in the world. When a white collar millionaire goes to jail, it is almost axiomatic that he or she will write a book.
