Gaja Capital Business Book Prize 2025

The Gaja Capital Business Book Prize was instituted in 2019, to encourage Indian entrepreneurs, writers, and journalists to tell their stories to the world. India is at the cusp of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage its demographic dividend, strengths in chemistry, health sciences, technology, and a high-growth consumer market to create tremendous business value and innovation for the world. Over the next few decades, Indian entrepreneurship and business models should be written about, critiqued, celebrated, and improved to create a vibrant business ecosystem built to last. We hope that these awards encourage young entrepreneurs to read and learn from the experience of others and for writers, journalists, and entrepreneurs to share their stories and create a body of knowledge for others to leverage and build upon.

The Gaja Capital Business Book Prize 2024 was awarded to “Entrepreneurs Who Built India – Lala Shri Ram: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow” by esteemed author Sonu Bhasin, which chronicles the life and contributions of Lala Shri Ram and serves as an inspiring guide for future entrepreneurs, showcasing how resilience, critical thinking, and empathy for one’s employees can lead to success in a rapidly evolving economic landscape.

Stay tuned for the longlist of nominated books.
