Not quite book, but I would like to read all laws and regulations related to business, finance and taxation such as the Companies Act etc as applicable to India. I will be transitioning to becoming a businessman in 2019 and its pertinent that I make myself at home with these topics so that I am not swindled by lawyers and auditors, or even the government for that matter.

From what I heard, best thing is to have a good lawyer and a good accountant recommended by somebody in business you can trust.

Not saying you should either learn on your own or have somebody recommended to deal with this for you, I thing you should one and the other.

I do wish you luck, I am still gathering courage to venture into business on my own :)

Thanks for the wishes, and I hope you do it soon as well :)

I am one of those people who don't trust people easily. And given the increasing amount of white collared crimes being exposed, I am completely disillusioned with these professionals. Of course, I will have to avail the services of these people but I want to make myself bulletproof against their well established work ethics. Not only do I not want to get swindled, I also don't want to be led astray. I want to conduct business honorably.

On a tangent: I’d like to hear from someone who has studied law or similar with regards to how to break the ice on such topics? I’d personally love to have “knowledge of” something like copyright law, but I don’t even know how to approach it.
