Summary

The Dolphin and the Shark is born out of Namita Thapar's experiences of being a judge on Shark Tank India and running the India business of the pharma company Emcure as well as her own entrepreneurship academy. The book emphasizes how leaders of today need to strike a balance between being a shark (aggressive leader) and a dolphin (empathetic leader).

It is divided into fifteen chapters which focus on various business mantras. The author shares personal stories, anecdotes about Emcure's evolution over the years as well as learnings from entrepreneurs who have inspired her. The Dolphin and the Shark also includes references to pitches from Shark Tank India's Season 1. Straight from the heart, candid and authentic, this book will inspire and motivate every reader to push their limits.
