A New Playbook for Niche Success

The Niche Code isn’t a theory. It’s a practical and modern playbook for how big businesses can be created even in small markets. The book is shaped by the author’s insightful conversations with founders, his years of mentoring entrepreneurs and hands-on experience of building and investing in businesses across India and beyond.

It draws on fresh case studies, taking special care to avoid Silicon Valley clichés and supplements its insights with India-based examples most readers will recognize.
