DareDreamers: A start-up of superheroes by Kartik Sharma and Ravi 'Nirmal' Sharma

"DareDreamers: A start-up of superheroes" by Kartik Sharma and Ravi 'Nirmal' Sharma -  Urban fantasy!

This book is published by Rupa publications in 2018 and has 288 pages. 

Rasiq, an IIT & IIM, is recruited in investment bank at enviable salary. He slogs like a machine and can't find enough time for his girlfriend Ruchika. Although he earns obscene salary, he is not happy. His heart is not in the job. So after a couple of years he resigns and starts a startup called Daredreamers, with a group of dreamers. What does the startup do? Emergency rescue. All kind of emergencies. 

Why does he leave his job? How does he get this startup idea? Will he succeed? Will he give up? Will they have competitors? What unconventional means will they deploy?

The idea of emergency rescue is interesting. Authors present various rescue missions ranging from failed breaks to sink hole to elephant poop. The rescue missions can make interesting thrilling scenes for a movie. The villain and his reasons for villainy are a bit lame. 

Rasiq the strategist and thinker, Natasha the daredevil, Nick the inventor, Halka the body builder, Arjun (you guessed it right) the archer & Vyom the doctor make the super heroes. They do not have super powers, just skills that they utilize with their quick thinking to rescue those in need. 

Authors spend half the book in Rasiq's life before start-up. That leaves little time for the venture and their rescue acts. The time Rasiq spends in France, though good, wasn't really necessary for the story. Another waste of page space. 

The sentence I liked most from this book is "Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my life." Full of positivity. One should really implement it. 

Book cover is interesting. It shows a corporate guy hanging by one hand to the landing gear of a flying chopper.

Authors are a father-son duo. A rare combination with generation gap and all that. This is their second book. 

Why did I read this book? Sub title of the book.

What I didn't like? Time before start up. 

What did I like? Idea, though impractical.

Recommend reading.
