  1. Mannvit Sisodiya

    Good book overall. However, it can get too boring for some readers, especially those who aren’t economics students.

  2. Ganvir Shubham Anand

    Subbarao’s ‘Just a Mercenary’ is a complex yet intriguing book that manages to capture a candid look at his life.

  3. Anushua Roy

    Subbarao’s journey is inspiring, but the writing style felt a bit dry at times. Still, worth reading for the economic insights.

    Although the book captures a great life, it’s a slightly slow read and you need patience to get through it.
