In a sea of global content, few stand out as as influential or as passionate as Vikas Pota, in providing a fresh, new perspective to the subject of India Inc. going global. By telling the stories of some of India’s best business brains, this book provides a fantastic insight into how the big challenges of our time are being tackled by the next wave of globally successful entrepreneurs.
James Caan, Dragons’ Den
An insightful and thought-provoking look at some of the world’s top entrepreneurs and how they got there. A must-read for any aspiring Dragon or business person wanting to understand the minds behind the greatest business expansion of our world today.
Jim O’Neill, Head of Global Economic Research, Goldman Sachs & author of The BRICs Report
Is India going to reach its potential, which its incredible demographics offer the nation? In much of our BRICs analysis out to 2050, the outlook for India seems potentially the most exciting of these emerging giants. But if India is going to get there, it is going to have to boost its produc- tivity significantly along the way. India Inc. examines the key players that are shaping the India of tomorrow; these are the people that will lead the country into a new future, both in terms of what they are doing now and through the examples they set as role models.
Vishakha N. Desai, President and CEO, Asia Society, US
One of the important trends of the first decade of the 21st century is the presence of Indian companies on the world stage. As the geo- economic weight shifts to Asia in this new century, after more than two centuries of Euro-American domination, we need to better understand the implication of the presence of Asian business leaders in the global arena. India Inc. will play an important role in providing a nuanced under- standing of India’s role in this globally shifting economic environment.
