Traditional traders, conventional mangers were baffled by his business logic and not many believed in his Ideas. But Kishore Biyani followed his own nose and made the most of the latent opportunities of the booming Indian consumer market. He transformed retail market in India with a “bania company” that even hard core pundits of Dalal street feared to touch… he is one the biggest revolutionaries of India. Just finished reading this… and must say this is one of my best reads.
Although this whole book is thought provoking, but one point I liked most is. “Even when every investor or traditional traders wrote off his Ideas, he did not loose heart. Instead it made him more determined and confirmed that he and his team were actually doing something different”
He believes in a simple philosophy “Rewrite Rules, Retain Values”

Thoughts could certainly be both - static & dynamic. But yeah, it is those dynamic ones that win you battles. If you are losing already, why not try something different!

very well said
Trying something different is good but I wont ask anyone to try something different for the sake of being different.
It is not simply because Kishore Biyani tried something different - he followed it till date. And this “chasing” has made him what he is today.
NB. A friend of mine said that he will lend me that book for a few days

FYI:
Big Bazaar is a chain of department stores in India, currently with 75 outlets. It is owned by the Pantaloon Retail India Ltd, Future Group.
It works on the same economy model as Wal-Mart and has considerable success in many Indian cities and small towns. The idea was pioneered by entrepreneur Kishore Biyani, the CEO of Future Group.
Currently Big Bazaar stores are located only in India. It is the biggest and the fastest growing chain of department store and aims at being 350 stores by the end of year 2010

“Even when every investor or traditional traders wrote off his Ideas, he did not loose heart. Instead it made him more determined and confirmed that he and his team were actually doing something different”>>> Yup sometimes negative criticism makes you more determined.
