About the Book
VINITA GUPTA'S LIFE IS AN INSPIRATION FOR ENTREPRENEURS, AND ESPECIALLY WOMEN, WHO SEEK TO INNOVATE AT WORK AND IN PERSONAL LIFE.
Having left India to work in the US in her twenties, Vinita Gupta went on to co-found Digital Link Corporation, where she was chairperson and CEO for nearly two decades. In this candid memoir, she writes about the struggles and triumphs of business innovation as well as the complexity of life as a wife and mother attempting to balance work and personal life. Just when she thought she had conquered all the odds, the illness and untimely passing of her husband, the highly successful tech entrepreneur and venture capital investor Narendra Gupta, forced change in a way she had not anticipated. And that, too, is part of this refreshingly honest set of reminiscences by a deeply accomplished woman.
