Why I wrote This Book
“I wish this training was there 5 years ago! I would have been an investment banker by now and my life would have turned out differently.” Feedbacks like this one make me feel good – but even more than that, it tells me how critically, and how urgently, the professional finance trainings are needed. Today, ARC School of Finance runs a variety of financial and investment-banking training workshops across India, designed for different sets of people – Aspirants and Participants of Capital Markets. In the last five years, almost in every seminar and workshop at ARC School of Finance, Top MBA Schools, Professional Bodies, and Corporate Houses, I came across one common and simple question from the participants – „Can you recommend us a good book on investment banking, written in a jargonfree and reader friendly language?? This is the question that motivated me to write this book and I am confident that this book, „Investment Banking: The Dream Begins? is the answer to that question. The Book, 'Investment Banking: The Dream Begins? is written in the simplest possible language. Hence, the undesirable jargon and textbook expressions are missing from the book. While writing the book, I made sincere effort to ensure that a reader feels as if I am talking and explaining the concepts to him/her in person.

Where to Go from Here
I really enjoyed writing this book. Hoping, you enjoy reading it. If you know nothing about investment banking and its history, I suggest you start with Chapter 1. But this is a reference book, so feel free to jump around a bit. For example, you can see the process for making a PE deal in Chapter 5, and if you want to see directly the valuation tools used by investment bankers, head to the part III of the book.
