The Maruti Story - RC Bhargava and Seetha (2010)

Written as a simple story on how Maruti came into being as company and went to be a leader in the car business in India. There is definitely a lot to be learnt on Maruti in the book. How the car came into being as a public sector initiative and ended up being the largest car manufacturer in India as described in very simple and lucid manner in the book. The challenges are described nicely and how the team Maruti addressed the issues are nicely portrayed.

As with every person writing an autobiography the focus is around how great things have happened around Maruti. The negative points have been toned down a lot. Just like the Nano story it seems to feel more like reading a success story but too silent on the challenges.

I am sure no company has everything that hunky dory there definitely a shade of grey to everything.
