I browsed through some HR books in the search and came across Mastermind by Siddhart Basu and some books by Chetan Bhagat. I think a special post must be created for books by Indian authors. A new book has come in the market:-
The greatest secret of success-Your passion quotient by Virender Kapoor- This book addresses the "square pegs in round holes" issue in a variety of ways. It would be of interest for the rest of you to know that Mr. Kapoor is on the HR committee of CII. He is a postgraduate from IIT Bombay and a Director of a premier business school in India.
The other books that I know by Indian authors are
Passion by Pramod and Vijay Batra
Passion to win- Abad Ahmed and DP Chopra on the basis of research by the All India Management Association.
Former Billiards champion Geet Sethi has written a sweet and simple book called 'Success v/s Joy'. It may not be a quintessential HR book but it has some very good HR lessons. In fact, the basic theme of the book is to avoid a square peg in a round hole.It has a forward by Mr Amitabh Bachchan.
A double life - which is an autobiography by former Lintas chairman Alyque Padamsee is a very good HR book in the sense that it shows how a man straddles two careers throughout his life- one career(Advertisement) funding the other(passion- theatre)
I don't know whether Mr. Chetan Bhagat is an HR professional but I am just keen to know whether any Indian HR professional has written similar books
