'Success does not depend on an MBA degree'

BANGALORE: In an age when the name of the business school you attended is more important than what you may be capable of without it, Rashmi Bansal, author of Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, on Saturday released her new book 'Connect the Dots,' which stresses otherwise.
At the book launch, she said her book concentrated on why success is not completely reliant on an MBA degree alone.Sharing snippets from her book, Rashmi said entrepreneurship was a larger concept and not restricted merely to the few Bschool graduates. She said the book featured 20 successful entrepreneurs who made it big without a degree from prestigious institutes. Adding that passion was the key, she said success cannot be measured only with the amount of money one makes. She added that the meaning of the book must not be constricted to the thought that all entrepreneurial activity refers to starting a new business. Professionals could pursue their ambitions and dreams within their own job or while working for any organisation, she said. The book that is divided into three parts, Jugaad, Junoon and Zubaan, is based on different kinds of people who have chosen not to follow the mainstream but do things they are passionate about.
