Seventy-five years after India\n attained freedom at the stroke of the midnight hour, the Indian\n economy has emerged as one of the largest in the world, with a vibrant\n start-up ecosystem. It has\n certainly come a long way since the time economic performance, shackled by\n socialist policies and\n the License-Permit-Quota Raj, was christened the ‘Hindu rate of growth’. In\n an attempt to understand\n this remarkably robust and resilient growth story of Indian business and\n enterprise, Amitabh Kant\n offers a multi-faceted survey of the nation’s business heritage and culture\n in Made in India.
\n This is a groundbreaking account of the development of Indian business and\n enterprise from the\n colonial period to the present. It not only introduces readers to formative\n business leaders (including\n Jamsetji Tata, Ghanshyam Das Birla and Walchand Hirachand Doshi) and\n leading firms (Wadia\n Group, Kirloskar Brothers Limited and Shapoorji Pallonji) but also analyse\n their presence in the\n country’s economy, their growth over time and their true impact on\n society.
\n Made in India comes to life with inspiring stories of\n entrepreneurs like Sunil Bharti Mittal and Rahul\n Bhatia, who have navigated many ups and downs on the road to building\n successful enterprises.
