It is the aspiration of every Indian to live a good life. The measure of which is better health, education, housing and income. Only a developed economy can fulfil this aspiration of its people. India is a growing economy and dreams of becoming a $10 trillion economy. In The $10 Trillion Dream, the author provided the road map to fulfilling that dream. However, the performance of the Indian economy in the past few years seems to have shattered the $10 trillion dream.

This book presents a comprehensive and critical analysis of the performance of the Indian economy under the Modi government from 2019 to 2024. It critically examines the policy measures taken by the government and identifies the reasons why India can’t become a $10 trillion economy by 2035. Foregrounded in rigorous research, The $10 Trillion Dream Dented is an unputdownable work that should encourage policymakers to rethink their approach to managing the Indian economy.

Transforming a product or service into a trustworthy brand is key to standing out in an insanely crowded marketplace. While extensive branding literature exists on international brands, there is a scarcity of the same on Indian brands, especially the new-age ones. India’s diverse and evolving market presents unique challenges. What works in developed markets like America may not work in India. Additionally, the obstacles and limitations faced by start-ups differ significantly from those encountered by established corporations. Consequently, the literature on established Indian brands may not be highly relevant in the rapidly evolving world of startups.

If you want to understand how a start-up can transform into an iconic brand in India’s diverse, crowded and ever-changing market, this book, a goldmine of strategies and stories, you must read.

A book on DEI in the workplace that speaks not only to executives but to employees at all levels of a company, by award-winning diversity consultant Risha Grant.

DEI consultant and corporate speaker, Risha Grant, shares her practice of learning how to welcome and embrace people’s full humanity, without BS, full stop. What’s BS? It’s bullshit for sure, but more specifically it’s the powerful and often invisible belief systems we’ve been steeped in since birth—the judgment and bias we carry with us that impact our own lives and the many others we encounter every day. Risha teaches us about the inner work and the outer work we need to do to dismantle our “biasphere,” and change how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. The more people are willing to acknowledge and address the biases inherent in their belief systems, the more those biases will dissipate and the better our work environments will become.

Readers will learn how to:

• Recognize when your BS manifests as “isms” and phobias that follow you to work
• Cure scarcity mentality, a damaging byproduct of fear
• Validate other people’s experiences
• Become a real ally
• Engage in micro efforts that can effect change on a macro level
• Create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging for everybody; that is, “get in where you fit in”
• Abolish groupthink and create space for diverse ideas
• Design explicit feedback channels
• Generate truly inclusive policies that people can trust
• Spot and stop bullying (it doesn’t always look the way you think it does)
• Understand that equality isn’t equity; the difference leads to everyone getting what they need
