Review

“Execution is not part of the game; it is the game.”

This isn’t just a powerful quote—it’s the foundation of Sameer Sankhe’s Make Them Love It, a smart, sharply written book that explores how businesses must evolve in an AI-driven world. Rooted in years of strategic experience, Sameer offers more than theory; he outlines a realistic, insight-driven path for companies ready to evolve in a fast-changing digital environment. The book unpacks how execution, mindset shifts, and customer understanding lie at the heart of meaningful innovation.

Through compelling case studies, real-world examples, and strategic frameworks, Sameer explores how companies from global tech giants to Indian startups have navigated their digital journeys. What makes the book stand out is its clarity and structure. Sameer doesn’t dive into jargon. Instead, he simplifies complex ideas, drawing on real examples from global giants to Indian disruptors like Zerodha, Zepto, and Zoho. These companies aren’t just mentioned for their success stories, but for how they understood customer pain points and built resilient platforms around them. One section I particularly loved was The Musk Playbook. It’s a brilliant breakdown of Elon Musk’s ventures, decisions, and execution models. Sameer doesn’t merely admire Musk; he dissects his approach and distils leadership insights that can be applied across industries.

The book also brings a thoughtful lens to India’s digital transformation. From Digital India initiatives to the rise of fintech and citizen-led tech adoption, it shows how the landscape has shifted economically, socially, and systemically. Each chapter is rich with insight and reflection. Sameer explores the strategic questions leaders often overlook, urging a deeper look at how organisations think, operate, and grow in a time of rapid change. From identifying real problems to building platforms that scale, his message is clear: meaningful transformation begins with clarity and decisive execution.

Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, strategist, or simply curious about how AI is reshaping the rules of growth, Make Them Love It is a timely read. It challenges old thinking and inspires new action. A crisp, accessible book packed with strategic insight and practical wisdom. Highly recommended if you’re ready to rethink leadership and execution in the AI era.
