Book ends P.P. Chhabria’s autobiography can be looked at as a personal documented history of our country
The autobiography of P.P. Chhabria, Chairman and Managing Director of Finolex – “There’s No Such Thing as a Self-Made Man” has been launched. Told in the first person in an intimate, easy-to-read style, this book has been writ
ten by Saaz Aggarwal after several months in conversation with P.P. Chhabria and several of his family members and close associates.
Says P.P. Chhabria, “Through all my years of working, I was always very busy, and completely focused on my work. It’s only in the last few yearsthat I have thought about the early days and felt the wish to have my story documented.”
From another perspective, this book is also a management text. P.P. Chhabria’s formal education ended when he was only in class II. At yet another level, this is a personal documented history of our country – a country that had just gained Independence, and was drained of resources by the Second World War and the withdrawing British. It had also suffered the trauma of Partition that left thousands, including Pralhad Chhabria and his family, homeless.
The book also documents the age of bureaucracy that followed, and the environment of communication and technology of the time, describing the stages that Indian manufacturing went through over six decades.
The book will be available at all leading bookstores and can also be purchased directly from www.ppchhabria.com. All proceeds from the sale of the book would be donated to the K.E.M. Hospital, Pune
