Through a collection of 17 insightful case studies, “She Storms the Norms” challenges conventional thinking and celebrates the spirit of women who dared to defy the status quo to create lasting impact.
The book profiles a diverse range of women in businesses, spanning from start-ups to legacy giants, who have rewritten the rules of their industries. Each chapter talks about how grit, empathy, and audacious thinking can drive transformation in the most unexpected ways. The writing style is a fine balance between analytical depth and narrative flow, making the book not just informative but also deeply engaging.
What elevates “She Storms the Norms” beyond a standard business book is its underlying theme of purpose-driven change. Motwani and Narendra go beyond celebrating success stories; they emphasize the significance of core values, a consumer-first approach, and a strong sense of societal purpose.

It encourages readers to move beyond comfort zones and engage with challenges as opportunities for reinvention. The authors make this book a standout in the genre of Business Literature.
