India's future depends not only on economic growth, but also on reform and innovation. In this fascinating look at the emerging economic giant, Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of Infosys, a global leader in information technology, charts the ideas that are crucial to India's current infrastructure revolution and quest for universal literacy, urbanization, and unification. He argues that only a safety net of ideas--from social security to public health to the environment--can transcend political agendas and safeguard India's economic future.
