For centuries, artisans, engineers, designers, and founders have repeated the same myth: “If I make something great, it will sell on its own.” The graveyards of business are filled with people who believe this. In this book, Abhishek Gilara dismantles that illusion with a creator’s honesty and a strategist’s precision. Drawing from: • Harvard and Stanford business frameworks • Real luxury brand case studies • The psychology of consumer desire • His own journey reshaping Rambhajo, a 104-year-old Jaipur jewellery legacy He explains the dual engine of greatness: Craft builds truth. Marketing builds belief. Only together do they create legacy.
