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