Speaking about the book, Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri said, “The idea that we have tried to propagate with this books is that you cannot only win, but you can also win by having a ‘THORNS TO COMPETITION’ attitude. I passionately believe that the difference between success and failure is the attitude with which the market is approached. THORNS TO COMPETITION, apart from being attitude-driven, provides 6 concrete steps to mastering the art of marketing and winning in the market place.” He further elaborated upon his book’s chapter on statutory warning, where he reinforces the need for people to balance happiness in their personal lives while falling for an endless list of products being marketed to them, often by greedy and manipulative marketers.

Prof. Rajita Chaudhuri, coauthor of the book said, “THORNS TO COMPETITION is a set of competition beating strategies! It showcases the selling mantra of modern times through the acronym T-H-O-R-N-S. At the centre, of course, lies the necessary condition of having a great product and all pervasive ethics.” She elaborated her point through many relevant examples, taking the audience through a journey starting from Mahatma Gandhi to Lady Gaga!

An avid reader and the megastar of the century, Shahrukh Khan added, “ I have always been a great believer of advertising and marketing. Arindam and Rajita’s book spells the mantra out in the clearest, still tongue-in-cheek manner.” As usual, his wit and charm left the audience spellbound. “I have never been able to understand why I became successful as a person in my field of work. I think that is the essence of this book, that you need sometimes very educated, good-minded, clear thinking people like Arindam & Rajita to tell you how success can happen,” he said.

If you want a simple understanding of not just marketing and advertising but also basic truths with amazing amount of examples, then this is a really great read. I am a voracious reader and I read everything that comes my way – and this book makes for a very interesting and fantastic read. Do give it a shot.” SRK also empathically stated, “Competition beware! I’m really gonna kick their butts after reading this book.”
