Capt. Gopinath is truly living life to the fullest and an inspiring person as well. People like him are the need of the hour, they truly can change the face of India. He is a visionary and I am sure that he'll come up with something big again, again and again. Coming to the book, it is vividly entertaining and provides you with a great deal of information on a variety of things. Just go through the chapters on his farming life when you are in the Deccan Airways chapter you'll realize the magnitude of his achievement. Let me first thank Captain Gopinath who shared his extraordinary entrepreneurial experience through “Simplify Fly: A Deccan Odyssey”. This is indeed one of the greatest literary works of modern time. Gopinath’s life is a source of inspiration for millions of young Indians and first-generation entrepreneurs. Well scripted and beautifully narrated, the book will work as a panacea for those suffering from depression or business loss. Gopinath has dealt with a host of issues from organic farming to business management. He has also talked about social, cultural, ethical and political issues in detail. On several occasions he came down heavily on archaic laws and pathetic bureaucratic system of the country.He is a true example of rags to riches. Started off career as a military officer, Gopinath tried his hand at farming, hotel business, motorcycle dealership, agricultural consultancy and politics before writing his success story on Indian sky by pioneering low-cost carrier in the country. He has shown great perseverance and dogged determination in setting up his helicopter business. In a nutshell, the autobiography is an honest account of entrepreneurial journey undertaken by Gopinath who is a role model for millions of businessmen in India and abroad. The book truly deserves a long shelf life.
