Mr. Gopalan Srinivasan, Corporate Leader and Former CMD of New India Assurance: “As a corporate leader, I would recommend these books to all businesses and industries

The subjects are very relevant… As a reader, I found they have come out of the huge experience of Dr. Gopalan. He has worked in so many countries in diverse fields and has brought out his experiences in a very lucid form. I sincerely hope these messages are carried forward and used by industries in sorting out their problems.”

Dr. T. Ramasamy, Padma Bhushan Awardee and Former Secretary of Science & Technology (Govt. of India): “He has looked at the problem not in parts but as an interconnected whole.
