About The Book

"Imagining India" offers a visionary outlook on India and its burgeoning future, as seen through the eyes of Nandan Nilekani, an accomplished business leader. The book provides a unique and balanced perspective on India's past, present, and future, engaging readers in an exploration of the central ideas that have shaped the nation's growth.

Nilekani critically examines India's earlier socialist policies, which, at one point, hindered its progress. The book traces the evolution of policies and efforts from past and present leaders as they tried to develop new frameworks to meet India's challenges.

A central theme in the book is the role of India's youth in driving the nation's development. Nilekani also highlights the transformative impact of information technology on business and governance.

The book covers a range of pressing issues, including labour reform, caste politics, urbanization, infrastructure, higher education, English language, and globalization. In charting ideas pivotal to India's future growth, Nilekani emphasizes the need for innovative solutions in areas such as social security, environment, and public health to secure the country's future.
