Dr. Batra’s life has been eventful. For decades, he has treated innumerable celebrities, including presidents, prime ministers, actors, sportsmen, artists, as well as the common man without discrimination.

Part memoir, part guidebook for entrepreneurs, Dr. Batra’s life has lessons that would benefit readers from any sphere of activity.

Shares Dr. Mukesh Batra, “The Nation’s Homeopath is the story of my personal experiences as a medical professional and an entrepreneur. The reader will get a ringside seat of the mistakes I’ve made and how I converted challenges into opportunities and failures into success. This book tracks not only my journey as a homeopath in India, but the lessons I’ve learned while setting up a multi-national medical conglomerate from the ground up. It will also teach budding entrepreneurs lessons that they won’t find in any text-book or management degree.”
