Book Summary 

Lean, Mean and Profitable: Success Stories of Self-made Entrepreneurs explores the world of self-funded and bootstrapped startups — especially in India — and shares real-life stories of founders and companies that grew successful without relying primarily on large venture capital funding. The book discusses the advantages and challenges of bootstrapping a business, examines why raising big funding isn’t the only path to success, and offers lessons from companies like Zoho, Wingify and Zerodha, as well as insights from experienced founders such as Sanjeev Bikhchandani (founder of Info Edge). Through engaging examples and analysis, the author shows how grit, solid business fundamentals, smart hiring, understanding customers, pricing strategies, and perseverance can lead a startup to scale up and become profitable, whether or not it has raised external capital. The book also looks at broader questions about funding, team building, growth pace, and everyday challenges that entrepreneurs face in building companies that endure and thrive.
