Blurb-
In an era booming with the 'Startup' trend and loving this new attitude of breaking boundaries and conventions of a career, one also faces the challenge of being able to partner up with the right people.In lieu of reliable and trustworthy partners, real life couples in relationships have started exploring the idea of partnering up in business too!
Speaking to various couple-preneurs, one realizes that the myth about mixing work and home is just as misty as the one about needing a stable and conventional job for an ambitious career. These dynamic startups break stereotypes and cover a varied range of services: e-commerce, innovative gifts, eco-friendly products, health-care solutions, social responsibility ventures, event management, digital solutions and many others.
SuperCouples brings out such lovely stories of enterprising couples.After all, when great minds come together to produce something built on conjoined dreams,the result is eminently successful, lucrative and deeply satisfying.
Review-
Long before laying my hand on this book I was introduced to one such couple-preneurs, The famous Author Mrs.Sudha Murthy, who resigned from her job as an engeneer at Telco in Pune and co-founded "Infosis Foundation" with her husband Mr. N.R. Narayana Murthy. Through their interviews I came to know many interesting facts about entrepreneurship and how it helped them mature in their relationship.Since then, I had a hidden desire to know more about such amazing couples. This book has quenched my thirst today.
"Super Couples " is a collection of 19 such amazing stories which will definitely motivate you follow your passion and live a balanced life. I particularly like the unique cover design and the title of the book.The content is well- researched. The writing style is simple but engaging and it feels amazing to know about so many creative souls. The stories ranging from paintings and travels to business sales and teaching helps the reader visualize the complete scenario. These stories are written in details which will definitely provide the readers an opportunity to peep into the minds of these creative geniuses and apply them in their relationship and work.
Recommendation-
I have utterly enjoyed going through this book. I highly recommend this book to all those readers who dares to dream and possess the courage to follow them.
