In his detailed post, he said that he was rejected from the business schools he had applied to in India after graduating from Sydenham College, Mumbai. His father also wasn't keen on sending him abroad for further studies."In those days, contradicting one’s parents wasn’t really an option. So, I joined the family business and began a different kind of education," he wrote."In the six decades that I’ve spent working, I’ve had uncountable successes, failures and learnings. I’ve tried to bring them together in a book, hoping that it helps others who are pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams," his post read.
The 71-year-old business tycoon recently authored a book, titled 'Harsh Realities', wordplay on his name. The book has a compilation of lessons the businessman learnt during his marico journey that can help aspiring entrepreneurs.Published by Penguin India, the book is co-authored by Ram Charan. It was released on Amazon & Flipkart on July 30.
Mariwala also shared a video post by Penguin India in his Instagram Story. In the Reel, he spoke about multiple failures he has faced in my journey. "Every time I failed, I learnt something from my failures," he said. Saying one should never underestimate the competition, he revealed that once he had received a threatening call from Hindustan Lever trying to coax him to sell his company.
In a recent video post by Mariwala, Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj said that he has thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.
