Motilal Oswal Alternates (MO Alts) publishes the third book of its My Way series – My Way 3.0. This book narrates the origin stories of 23 distinguished entrepreneurs building 11 disruptive companies, and their aspirations for the future. The genesis of My Way series was in the realization that usually a select few large businesses enjoy the spotlight of media and consequently the public at large. However, given India’s massive size and scale, there are several tremendously inspiring stories about businesses that are on their path to greatness with solid foundations and unwavering corporate values. The stories also underline what it took and what it continues to take for these companies to create value and leave behind a legacy.
The book also captures the genesis of MO Alts, and how it emerged as a differentiated mid-market fund in a relatively short time and scaled-up. The 11 companies covered in this book are the ones in which MO Alts invested through its India Business Excellence Fund III.
