R Gopalakrishnan was a corporate leader for 50 years at HUL and Tata. Nowadays he is an author, business commentator and public speaker. He writes monthly columns for two newspapers and has written 18 books so far. His first 6 books were written solo but his next 12 books have been co-authored with 8 different thinkers. Though the books are structured on the platform of enterprise and business, they are not “management books”, rather they are the “lessons of life experiences”.
