Indias abundance of lifevibrant, chaotic, and tumultuoushas long been its foremost asset. The nations rising economy and burgeoning middle class have earned India a place alongside China as one of the worlds two indispensable emerging markets. At the same time, Indias tech-savvy entrepreneurs and rapidly globalizing firms are upending key sectors of the world economy. But what is Indias true potential? And what can be done to unlock it? McKinsey & Company has pulled in wisdom from many cornerssocial and cultural as well as economic and politicalto launch a feisty debate about the future of Asias “other superpower.” Reimagining India features an all-star cast of contributors, including CNNs Fareed Zakaria; Mukesh Ambani, CEO of Indias largest private conglomerate; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; Google chairman Eric Schmidt; Harvard Business School dean Nitin Nohria; award-winning authors Suketu Mehta (Maximum City), Edward Luce (In Spite of the Gods), and Patrick French (India: A Portrait); Nandan Nilekani, Infosys cofounder and chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India; and a host of other leading executives, entrepreneurs, economists, foreign policy experts, journalists, historians, and cultural luminaries.
