Book Summary

Start Up, Stand Up (October 2016) is a well-structured, practical guide for entrepreneurs who have launched their venture and now aim to scale it into a sustainable, recognizable business. Drawing on over a decade of experience mentoring more than 2,000 entrepreneurs across 300+ domains, Nandini presents 20 “sutras”—actionable principles—that take readers from their first paying customer to building a loyal user community and creating brand mindshare 

Each sutra distills distilled insights: choosing customers wisely; designing addictive products; building high-performance culture; leveraging design thinking; finding the right mentor; navigating equity, crowdfunding, and investor relationships; and transitioning from founder to leader. The narrative is enriched with vivid real-world case studies, including failures and successes, misadventures and humility, making the advice highly relatable. Readers receive the feel of a direct conversation with the author—spirited, encouraging, and packed with hard-won insight.
