Freshly Minted - MBA Essentials for the First Time Manager (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636406695)

Freshly Minted is a uniquely comprehensive introduction to the art and science of business management. Perfect for college students and young managers, this book views the management world from the lens of a fresh graduate from IIM-Ahmedabad.

During his MBA at IIM-A, Shreyas Harish had created notes on each of the subjects taught at business school. Shreyas' notes were nearly universally adopted by the next batch of students. The IIM-A batch of 2021-23 described the notes as "a life-saver", "a legendary companion" and "amazingly comprehensive through the MBA journey". Inspired by this response, Shreyas decided to translate his notes into a more accessible format of a single book for college students, current MBA students and young managers a like.
