many to believe and question how they impact others as they
grow their companies.

The story of Indian media in the last twenty years is the story
of how a few brave entrepreneurs like Ronnie built an
exciting industry from scratch - with few guideposts and no
templates to replicate. I hope Ronnie’s story will be a beacon
for entrepreneurs who seek to create their own next...

Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an
age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted
by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology
has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress
should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can
be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from
the most important skill that every leader must master:
learning to think for yourself.
