Book Review- A Regal Man

Image
# BookReview   πŸ“š   Title : A Regal Man Author : Priya Kumar  Genre : Biography  Being a Gulf kid, I have many a times come across the word ‘Regal Traders’.And reading about the Indian man behind this massive arena was delightful.  ‘A regal man’ is the biography of renowned businessman Mr.Vasu Shroff,Chairman of the esteemed Regal group. His journey from Sindh to UAE,which was by then an Undeveloped Desert and his successful career despite multiple hurdles in the business world and personal losses is commendable. A few facts about early UAE,a deserted land with a deserted market and it is even difficult to visualise the kind of life explained in the book,considering the massive development that Dubai has gone through in the past few decades. The evolution history of the Indian High School was a surprising story to me. Appreciations to the author for the gripping writing style of a biography. Rating - 4/5 Best Wishes to the author  πŸ‘πŸΌ
