Glimpse of Book:- India Unbound



About Author:-
Gurucharn Das is a columnist for The Times of India and other newspapers. He graduated from Harvard college and attended Harvard Business School. A Former CEO of Proceter and Gamble, he is venture capitalist and a consultant to industry and government.






India Unbound is a book written in a lucid manner. Gurucharanji's typical writing style of bringing everything; History,Economics,Commerce , Business and Description of his life under one roof, makes this book an interesting read. He has described the British Raj, License Raj and Liberalization of Indian Economy very precisely. He says that India is a wise Elephant, unlike China. Although slower, India is more likely to preserve its way of life and its civilization of diversity, tolerance, and spirituality against the onslaught of the global culture.

-His inclination towards philosophy and confusion to pursue Sanskrit course at Harvard or leave it to go for something more, so called "substantial" in those days, is penned down.
-One should not miss the Vicks VapoRub incident of Surat lady ..while he was on his sales visit...
-He has described the leaders of Indian Industry:- G.D Birla, Narayan Murthy, Dhirubhai Ambani...
- How caste system can hinder the growth of a country , is very well explained.

In a Nut shell --its a book about the opening up of India to the outside world and to change for good...
