What Is This Book About?

Manish Vij had the odds stacked against him. Came from a middle class background, didn’t go to a Tier 1 college and had no influential network to tap into. Yet through sheer grit, smart maneuvers and some serendipitous strokes of good fortune, he has succeeded in becoming a successful serial entrepreneur and investor, best known for his prolific digital venture building skill, having built companies such as Quasar (India’s leading digital media agency which he sold to WPP group), Letsbuy (acquired by Flipkart) and SVG Media/Tyroo (a pioneering ad tech firm).
And now with Brick By Brick he shares his secret sauce for entrepreneurial success. Filled with useful advice and sharp insights and written in a style that’s endearing and entertaining in equal measure, this is the quintessential self help guide to building a successful business in India!

Who Should Buy This Book?

  • People who are mulling taking the entrepreneurial path, but don't know what it might entail. This book is a guide, source of inspiration and honest mentor all rolled into one!

  • People who are already running their own businesses and looking for actionable advice on how to handle the curve balls that a life in entrepreneurship always throws you!

  • Anyone who has a friend, relative, neighbor, love interest with entrepreneurial dreams! This will perhaps be the most thoughtful and useful gift you could give him/her.

  • Anyone who loves a great story about entrepreneurial life, with its highs, lows and never ending drama!

Why Should You Read It?

  • Seldom has an Indian entrepreneur shared such an honest account of his life and entrepreneurial journey as Manish Vij has!

  • His endearing tale has deep actionable insight and revelations that can be immensely helpful to someone on the entrepreneurial path

  • Manish candidly shares the mistakes he made, so you won't make those! And generously shares growth hacks that he discovered through trial and error, sometimes through pain and loss!

  • It's a breezy read that is all fact but as enjoyable as watching an entertainment show on OTT that gives you a ringside view into the world of Indian entrepreneurship and funding ecosystem, with its thrills, disappointments and sometimes betrayals!
