A visionary look at the evolution and future of India by a
preeminent business leader India’s recent economic
boom—similar in scope to that of the United States during
the early 1990s or Europe’s during the 1970s—has triggered
tremendous social, political, and cultural change. The
result is a country that, while managing incredible economic
growth, has also begun to fully inhabit its role on the
world political stage. In this far-ranging look at the
central ideas that have shaped this young nation, Infosys
cofounder Nandan Nilekani offers a definitive and original
interpretation of the country’s past, present, and future. India’s future rests on more than simply economic growth; it
also depends on reform and innovation in all sectors of
public life. Imagining India traces the efforts of the
country’s past and present leaders as they work to develop
new frameworks that suit India’s specific characteristics
and challenges. Imagining India charts the ideas that are
crucial to India’s current infrastructure revolution and
quest for universal literacy, urbanization, and unification;
maps the ideological battlegrounds of caste, higher
education, and labor reform; and argues that only a safety
net of ideas—from social security to public health to the
environment—can transcend political agendas and safeguard
India’s economic future. As a cofounder of Infosys, a global
leader in information technology, Nandan Nilekani has
actively participated in the company’s rise in the last
fifteen years. In Imagining India, he uses the global experience and
understanding he has gained at Infosys as a springboard from
which to discuss the future of India and its role as a
global citizen and emerging economic giant. A fascinating
window into the future of India, Imagining India engages
with the central ideas and challenges that face the
country—from within and as a part of the global economy—and
charts a new way forward for a nation that has proved itself
to be young, impatient, and vitally awake.
