About the Book
India has the potential to lead the world thanks to what it has now - a diverse culture with something for everyone, a young population thirsty for education and achievement, and a strong and diverse private sector. Much must change to achieve India's potential - targeting rapid economic growth as its collective goal; investing in innovation, design, education and research; building independent institutions step by step; and harnessing its diverse culture.
From the Back Cover
'What is India's future? I deeply believe in India's promise, in our potential for great achievement. I am also old enough to appreciate our ability to snatch failure from the jaws of success.'
THE PROMISE: Our diverse culture has something for everyone. Our young population is thirsty for education and achievement. And a strong private sector is our engine of growth. We can lead the world in the future.
THE STRUGGLE: We struggle to create a business-friendly environment. We lag in innovation. Education, public health and quality of jobs demand attention. Our governments control some things too much and neglect others.
How can the government, citizens and firms turn our struggle into promise and enable India to lead? How can we fix things by learning from best practices elsewhere? How can we ensure openness, inclusivity and innovation? How can independent institutions make up for low state capacity? How can our culture deliver leadership?
In The Struggle and the Promise, Naushad Forbes answers these and other critical questions concerning India's progress. He provides a logical, actionable blueprint for getting the balance right between industry, institutions and policy. Backed by rigorous research and copious data, here's a book that shows how to fulfil India's potential.
Dr Naushad Forbes is co-chairman of Forbes Marshall, India's leading steam engineering and control instrumentation firm. Forbes Marshall has consistently ranked amongst India's Great Places to Work. He is also chairman of Ananta Aspen Centre and Centre for Technology, Innovation and Economic Research (CTIER).
Naushad received his bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University, where he also taught an occasional course for twenty years. He has written widely on innovation in developing countries and higher education in India, including a book, From Followers to Leaders, co-authored with David Wield. He writes a monthly column for Business Standard.
He is on the board of several educational institutions and public companies. Naushad has long been an active member of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and was president of CII for 2016–17.
