India Idea

The India idea–an idea which may not always find its origin in a sophisticated lab or a state-of-the-art industrial R&D centre; an idea which may be as unique as the country's identity, ethos and culture; an idea which may be beyond time and space but whose time has definitely come–this evocative book gives a fascinating peep into such ideas and the robust innovation model across India's social and economic spectrum. With thought-provoking contributions by legendary scientists, technocrats and management experts and practitioners on the one hand and heart-warming stories about inclusive grass-roots as well as cutting-edge innovations on the other, this one-of-its-kind book presents the distinctive India of today in all its flavour and fervour.
