Turning that attitude around took genius, persistence and the uncommon gift of persuasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Man Who Saw Tomorrow: The Untold Story of N.J. Yasaswy, the Founder of ICFAI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e chronicles the life and times of one of India’s boldest minds in higher education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Long before private universities became commonplace, Yasaswy imagined a network of world-class institutions that would help shape India’s future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Out of that vision grew the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), stretching from Tripura to Dehradun, and from Sikkim to Hyderabad. Today, it is a family of 11 universities, 9 B-schools, 7 tech schools, 9 law schools, and 3 pharma schools—all within four decades of learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But Yasaswy was more than a dreamer. He was an institution builder, a leader who inspired fierce loyalty and a risk-taker who was never scared to miss a step or two on the road to scale. He led his army of followers on a path where no road existed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on the voices of admirers, colleagues, critics, family and friends, V. Pattabhi Ram and Sudhakar Rao tell the story of how Yasaswy built institutions brick by brick and how he inspired ordinary people to achieve extraordinary goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written with conviction and narrative detail, this inspiring story is a case study of grassroots change, and of a visionary leader who revolutionized Indian higher education.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications India Pvt.
