'Watch Out! We Are MBA' by Nishant Kaushik

Nishant Kaushik is a 25-year old alumnus of NMIMS, batch of 2006, whose maiden novel 'Watch Out! We Are MBA' was published by Manas Publications early in 2008. In less than ten months, the book has sold around 5000 copies and is still raring to go.

The novel is the story of Nakul Kapoor, who walks into a premier B-school and meets five friends who become important constituent of his life. Together, they witness two of the most glorious years of their lives, whereby emotions and dreams are born, nurtured, and in some cases, injured too. The book is a work of fiction, and not the author's autobiography by any measure. However, Nishant does dedicate this book to NMIMS, which he believes gave him some unforgettable memoirs and some friends for life.

The book has drawn wide acknowledgement from readers of various segments. Following are some of the review comments on the novel:

• "An engaging saga of Indian youth of today" - Mr. Hasmukh Shah, Ex-CMD, IPCL


• "Kaushik's written a book in the true spirit of young Indians...and with considerable flair" - India Empire, March 2008


• "The author has made a creative attempt to mix humor with 'growing up' - HardNews, March 2008

Nishant's second novel, currently untitled, is also due to hit the stores soon
