"The emergence of India as an economic superpower has challenged business leaders to learn all they can about the fastest-growing economy in the world. What better way to do so than to observe India's high achievers? From fields as diverse as biotechnology, entertainment and green energy, Pota profiles ten of India's movers and shakers, including Narayana Murthy, Chairman of Infosys; K. V. Kamath, Chairman of ICICI Bank; and role model Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, who broke through the male-dominated Indian business world to become Chairwoman of Biocon India, Asia's largest biotechnology company. India Inc. sifts through the jargon, dusts off the myths and spells out in simple terms what the future holds for the country and the world at large. Pota proves that India is well on its way to providing the next set of role models - to follow Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Warren Buffet - revealing who those business leaders are and what makes them tick."--Publisher's description.
