Based on interviews with over 150 friends, family members, rivals, former aides and Shanghvi himself, it traces his transformation from a quiet, curious child working in his father's small shop to an astute strategist, who built India's largest pharma company, Sun Pharma, despite being untrained in science.\u003cbr\u003eThe tale unravels his contrarian and controversial bets that made Sun a global force, and him a 'turn-around' artist.
