So, is this a new India? I dont, for a second, doubt that, says journalist, author, talk-show host and master raconteur, Vir Sanghvi, in The Game Changers: Transforming India. In this transformed nationdriven primarily by a new middle classsuccess is measured by the ability to stand apart and a willingness to break with the past and with precedents.The Game Changers explores this change, and the people who have wrought it. Asma Khan, a former journalist who found a place on Netflixs Chefs Table; Karan Johar, the man who made romance fashionable despite a terrible lack of it, while struggling with his sexuality; Arnab Goswami, who the millennials think invented TV news; Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw who first learnt how to brew beer and then set up a global biotech conglomerate; Gaggan Anand whose Progressive Cuisine is what food fantasies are made of; Shashi Tharoor whose best-selling books make big ideas accessible to the general reader. These men and women, among them Nandan Nilekani, Sameer Sain and Vijay Shekhar Sharma, are the architects of a new order. A nuanced understanding of their lives is one way to understand the India of this ageand no one reads the signs better than Vir Sanghvi.
