About this listen

'The Groundbreaker' is the riveting account of Kanwal Rekhi, who defined a generation of Indian entrepreneurs that changed the world. Rekhi's singular journey mirrors the rise of modern India, offering a deeply personal account of US-India relations, both past and present.

Dubbed the "Godfather of the Silicon Valley's Indian Mafia," by Fortune Magazine, Rekhi rubbed shoulders with luminaries named Gates, Jobs, and Ellison on his meteoric ascent through the tech industry. He went on to advise on culture-shifting policies and is perhaps best known for his work launching the careers of thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs into their own journeys.

Rekhi's story proves that immigrants not only contribute to the economy but often employ thousands of Americans in the process; and why the cooperation of the world's oldest democracy and the world's largest democracy is crucial to the continued balance of global power into the future.

More than just a business memoir, this book is a call to action—for dreamers, doers, and those brave enough to bet on themselves. With lessons on resilience, leadership, innovation, and purpose, it's at once a deeply personal story of overcoming adversity and an urgent rallying cry for the next generation of change-makers.
