MUMBAI:Ronnie Screwvala’s entrepreneurial journey is an inspiration, to say the least. Founder of one of India’s largest media & entertainment conglomerates UTV, Screwvala has now penned a book on his journey calledDream with your Eyes Open.

Encompassing Screwvala’s journey from cable TV to toothbrushes manufacturing, from theatre to media and entertainment,Dream with your Eyes Open, aims to champion entrepreneurship in the country.
“Ronnie is an inspiration for everyone who dares to make their dreams come true. His conviction in an out-of-the-box film likeBarfimade me realize that when belief meets innovation, it creates magic! I am delighted to launch the cover of his book and look forward to its release.
I will definitely be buying the first day, first copy,” said Kapoor.
Screwvala added, “Dream With Your Eyes Openshares failures and triumphs, thoughts and anecdotes of my journey. It details out my vast experiences and myriad lessons learned from more than two decades of building some successful (and some not-so-successful) businesses. This book is about ‘it can be done’, not ‘I did it’. It’s all possible. Just dream your own dream—and when you do, dream with your eyes open.”
Demonstrating an innate ability to merge creativity with commerce, Screwvala is credited with pioneering Cable TV in India, building one of the largest toothbrush manufacturing operations – before founding UTV, which he later divested to The Walt Disney Company.
Onto his second innings,Screwvala is driven by his interest in championing entrepreneurship in India, and is focused on building his next set of ground up businesses in high growth and impact sectors. His more recent commitment to being a first mover in sports has made him lend his support to Kabaddi and football.
