Pitch It!

Pitch It! draws a line between the cricket field and the corporate boardroom. Dev Prasad builds the book around stories that pair well-known cricketers with business leaders, using the comparison to show what it takes for professionals to rise to the top of their own fields.

The lessons are grounded in case studies from a wide range of industries, including IT, consumer goods, automotive, aerospace, banking, petrochemicals, and food and beverages. Seeing the same principles at work in such different settings is meant to show that they are not tied to one sector.

Taken together, the stories and cases form a practical blueprint for creating an organization that wins and keeps on winning. The book carries a foreword by Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and an epilogue by former Indian cricketer and coach Venkatesh Prasad.
