It was my privilege to read this book, learn from it, to resolve to work towards overcoming my weaknesses and to work hard with discipline and honesty to add my miniscule effort to strengthen our country.

Where does India stand today economically, socially and politically, 75 years after Independence? Where should it aspire to go from here in the next 25 years as it touches the milestone of 100 years of Independence in 2047?

Should India become a manufacturing powerhouse to rival China? Or should it stay content with
services and become the Information Superpower of the world? What about pursuing new opportunities in agriculture, healthcare and other segments to become the world’s best user of technology to create globally best-in-class industries?
Can a new wave of research and innovation be unleashed to transform urban and rural habitats
where high-quality education and skills are available to create sustainable livelihoods through
employment and entrepreneurship?
Will India be able to achieve the target of a $5-trillion GDP in the foreseeable future? And finally,
what about our pathways to achieve social harmony and see ourselves emerge as proud Indians in a thriving democracy?
Edited by Ganesh Natarajan and Ejaz Ghani, India’s Pathways to Success: Winning in the Next Decade is a compilation of essays by some of the best minds in India. It takes an optimist’s view and uses a lens of success to view the past, examine the present and identify torches that can shine into the darkness of the unknown and determine robust pathways for the future.
A must-read for the young people of India, to whom this book is dedicated by Pune International Centre.
