In the 20 plus years of liberalisation, India has been down various bylanes and dead-ends. Liberalisation has a lot going for it; most of us would not have it any other way. But it has also seen the power of money megabuck scams in which the only crime is getting caught. This book is not concerned with relicts of history; it profiles people, processes and products that have something new to offer, that have a story to tell. Or it may be about failure; there are stories and lessons there too. But it is not a prescription. This is also not chicken soup for the Indian CEOs soul. Its more mulagatani for the manager. All chapters and sub-chapters have a point to make. But one needs to find it. The tone of the book is not meant to be appeasing. This book has no holy cows. There are no punches pulled, even if it puts business barons in a bad moo. This book floats like a butterfly between various incidents and issues. Written with an acerbic pen, it stings like a bee too.
