    I just finished reading Spark: Stories and Insights from India’s Public Relations Pioneers. While I don’t come from a PR background, I was curious to explore what the book had to offer—and it didn’t disappoint. The inspiring journeys of pioneers who ventured into business without a clear roadmap yet achieved incredible success left a lasting impression. It’s a testament to their resilience and vision. This book has sparked my interest in exploring similar stories from other industries, and I hope to read more about entrepreneurial journeys across diverse fields.
