Praise for The Dream
While success like his is often attributed to luck, Chahal's story, like that of many immigrants, is more one of sacrifice — years of hard work, persistence and faith brought his rewards, not chance.
Read in one sitting. A gripping, amazingly honest book — he is remarkably forthright about everything that has happened in his life.
In clear, quicksilver prose, Chahal captures the ups, downs, and eventual moonshot of his journey from outcast immigrant to rockstar Internet entrepreneur.
