@The_Other_Swaroop : Agreed, especially about BMTC, they’ve won many awards too.

@Azeem : I did read a hard copy. What I meant by my sentence above is that the book does not seem to be available in online stores, which usually means it is unlikely I’ll find the book in the physical bookstores as well.

@Kartik : Yes, the Gujarati and other local versions seem to be very popular from my searches

This is my favorite book after reading it in Gujarati as ઇડલી, ઓર્કિડ અને હું.

Did you read the hard copy of the book if it is not available online?

Though , I wouldn't like to comment on Mr Kamat without reading his book , I did say that its surprising how entrepreneurship manifests itself in India. It is common to forget the visionary capabilities of Indian buisness in light more accomplished western counterparts.

Point in mind BMTC/KSRTC. Your right - BMTC/KSRTC. Your earlier article on the new service by bmtc to play shuttles around the most populous locales in Bangalore ( MG Road area) - leaves most American public transport systems in the dust. Most systems here run only in "downtowns" and rarely connect to suburbs where significant folks work and live.Besides most of the systems are loss making, and rarely run on capacity, soon turning out to be pink elephants. In contrast the public transportation in Indian cities in functional, practical and cheap(to western standards).

I did also like to enforce another great attribute - Hard work , without with I am sure Mr Kamat wouldn't have been as successful as he has been.
