In each theme, Prasad presents a cricketing example followed by a corporate one. For instance, he examines Kapil Dev’s heroic innings vs. Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup and contrasts that with the turnaround at Nissan under Carlos Ghosn as a way of exploring how controlled aggression, vision, and daring can work in crisis.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003eBeyond inspiration, \u003cem data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003ePitch It!\u003c\/em\u003e is meant to be practical: readers get a blueprint of behaviors, mindsets and practices that help build “winning organizations”—how to lead with humility, manage teams, innovate under pressure, deal with uncertainty, maintain values, and stay resilient even when the situation is difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"2255\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDev Prasad\u003c\/strong\u003e is an engineer by training (Electronics \u0026amp; Communication) from Regional Engineering College, Trichy (now NIT Trichy), and has done management development at IIM Bangalore. He lives in Bangalore and has held senior management roles in European and American multinational companies.
