About the Book

The 3 Mistakes of My Life is the third novel from Chetan Bhagat, often called the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India's history, telling the story of three childhood friends in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, who dream of building a business together. Govind Patel has scored perfectly in mathematics and dreams of becoming a successful businessman. Alongside his friends Ishaan and Omi, he sets out to open a cricket and sports shop, a venture born from genuine friendship, ambition, and Ishaan's deep love for the game.

As the three friends work to build their shop from the ground up, their story becomes intertwined with Govind's growing feelings for Ishaan's sister, Vidya, whom he tutors in math, and with Ishaan's discovery of a young cricketing prodigy named Ali, whom the friends become determined to help succeed. Woven throughout the novel are real historical events that shook Gujarat and India during the period the story is set, the devastating 2001 Gujarat earthquake, the 2002 Godhra riots, and the tension surrounding India's cricket rivalry with Australia, grounding the friends' personal journey in a genuinely turbulent backdrop of communal conflict and national upheaval. Told in the first person through Govind's eyes, the novel explores ambition, friendship, faith, and the deep cost of the choices we make, following its tagline as, at its heart, "A Story about Business, Cricket and Religion." The novel was later adapted into the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Bollywood film Kai Po Che.
