Telecom Wars

Today, mobile connections are so readily accessible that it is perhaps easy to forget the time when only the elite had access to a phone provided by the sole operator: the Government of India. It all changed in the early 1990s as liberalisation stirred the Indian economy out of its decades of complacency.

The Telecom Wars begins its narration from those times, traversing the uncertain early years of the mobile phone industry. It is a vivid portrait of the fierce competition as Tata, Birla, Reliance, and Bharti bid to capture the lion’s share of India’s billion voices. As they did, India’s institutions to regulate and manage the sector also evolved—the ministry separated from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT), and state-run operators MTNL and BSNL also joined the fray. Policy makers, entrepreneurs, and bureaucrats worked tirelessly to change India’s cellular topography.

Fast-paced and expertly written, veteran financial journalist Deepali Gupta’s account is both a comprehensive history and a work of great business insight.

Fortune Seekers

Nattukotai Chettiars were the most prominent business community from Tamil region and this book captures their spirit of enterprise that led many of them to seek their fortunes overseas. It’s a story that connects South India, Burma, and South-East Asia across the Bay of Bengal and equally one that spans the British imperial era and that of the modern nation state.

For students of history, business, and for modern entrepreneurs, the book has valuable lessons on the importance of diversifying into promising investment opportunities and gauging the economic winds of change.

India’s Finance Ministers

This is the third volume in the series of books on India’s finance ministers, which capture the story of India’s economic policies through the lens of the Union government’s budget initiatives since 1947.

The first volume covered the period of thirty years from India’s Independence to the end of the Emergency in 1977. The second volume covered the twenty-one years from the formation of the first non-Congress government in India in 1977 to 1998, when the short tenure of the coalition government led by United Front ended. The present volume covers a period of sixteen years that saw just four finance ministers present Union budgets and steer their respective government’s economic policies through them.

A fascinating account of economic policymaking, the book analyses the role of India’s finance ministers in the management of the Indian economy during the era of coalition politics. It also highlights the significant difference these ministers made to the policy evolution of the government and, thus, left an indelible mark on the psyche of Indian citizens. It attempts to measure the impact of their decisions not only on India’s economic system but also on its political system, and to what extent their decisions were influenced by their socio-economic backgrounds. Foregrounded in rigorous research and full of interesting anecdotes, the book is the first in-depth account of the crucial role the finance minister plays in the functioning of India’s economy.

Meri Kahani/मेरी कहानी

पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने एन ऑटोबायोग्राफ़ी नाम से अंग्रेजी में अपनी आत्मकथा लिखी थी, यह उसी पुस्तक का सरल, संक्षिप्त और सुसंपादित हिंदी रूपांतरण है। जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने इसे 1934 और 1935 के बीच जेल में रहते हुए लिखा था और 1936 में इसका प्रथम बार प्रकाशन हुआ। लेकिन जन-जन तक पहुँचाने के लिए जब हिन्द पॉकेट बुक्स ने इसे 1983 में अत्यंत सरल भाषा में प्रकाशित किया, तो इस पुस्तक ने बिक्री के सारे रिकॉर्ड ध्वस्त कर दिए थे।
जवाहरलाल नेहरू एक महान व्यक्तित्व थे और उन्होंने कई प्रेरणादायक और ज्ञानवर्धक पुस्तकें लिखी हैं, लेकिन मेरी कहानी के माध्यम से उन्होंने न केवल अपने परिवार या अपनी संघर्ष गाथा का वर्णन किया है, वरन अपनी आँखों के सामने बनते जा रहे भारत के नए इतिहास को जिस रोचक तरीके से उन्होंने इस पुस्तक में लिखा है, वह नि:संदेह नेहरू जी को एक महान इतिहासकार सिद्ध करने के लिए पर्याप्त है।
