A to Z of Corporate Success Secrets in 20 Quick Mantras

If leadership and life lessons are not to be terse

You need Pallav’s book to belt it out in verse ,

It’s fascinating read, the rhythm, wisdom and rhyme ,

Laugh at yourself, it’s not a waste of time!

– Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director, Nestle India.


Pallav offers up poetic perspectives for MBAs or anyone with corporate experience. These are the only poems I know with "Margins, EBITDA and Balanced Scorecards" alongside "conscience your ole friend". The blank pages invite self-reflections as his rhymes declare "Business makes money, attracting swindlers like honey" and "social impact has its takers, sustainability its share of fakers." You can agree or disagree with "we know everything ... about nothing" in this unique book.

– Dr. Jyoti Bachani, Founder of Poetry of Diaspora in Silicon Valley, Full Professor, Saint Mary's College of California.


Never has the war on corporate cliche been fought with such wit and subtlety. Pallav Sinha’s book is a timely antidote to the excesses of corporate verbiage. Good fun.

– Santosh Desai, CEO Future Brands, Founder Think 9 Technologies, Author.


This is a delightful jargon-embellished, acronym-laden, foot-noted spoof on all business guides before it and the zillions that will follow. If you have to pick up one book of management gyan that makes you at once reflect and chuckle, it should be this one.
