It has sections on creative intelligence, traits and dispositions of the creative mind, creativity-enhancing contexts, techniques and methods for securing creative solutions for problems, on the creative problem-solving process, and so forth.”
- Pradip N Khandwalla. Former Director, IIM-Ahmedabad
“This book is an endeavour towards a shift from condemned-to-be-free to condemned-to-be-creative! This is a must read to understand creativity in its truest sense and with the utmost objectivity. The diction, choice of words and tone make this book all the more worth cherishing.”
- Debashis Chatterjee. Director, IIM-Kozhikode
“A commendable feature of this book is the author’s ability to integrate a large number of concepts and theories from a variety of philosophical systems (both from the East and the West) and make them converge into concepts and tools for understanding and developing creativity. I am sure this book will provide a delightful eureka experience to the reader.”
- Mathew J Manimala. Director (Research), XIME, Bangalore
“Dr Panthalookaran’s book is domain agnostic; a common thread that is applicable to any field that one could conceive; a collage that tempts you to reach for it again and again; a mosaic that methodically and holistically mentors you on how to think; …and comes at the right time when ‘Make in India’ is gaining momentum!”
- Sathya Prasad M. Vice President, Ashok Leyland Technical Centre
“Condemned to be Creative...is about creativity from the word go. The title is catchy and will invite the reader to explore. The book will be useful for those who want to develop creativity in themselves and teach creativity.”
- Neharika Vohra. Chairperson, Centre For Innovation Incubation & Entrepreneurship, IIM-Ahmedabad
