Candid talk from industrialist Naushad Forbes: “Corporates need to speak up more”

Is India stumbling. If so, why?
How can it live up to its promise?

What can make it a more inclusive economy & attractive society?

It’s unusual to find an industrialist willing to speak frankly about the state of India’s economy, government, corporates — and the relations between them.

Refreshing. Forthright. Engaged. NAUSHAD FORBES — co-chairman of Forbes Marshall, and former CII president — is one such voice. Concerned about the path India is on, economically & culturally, he analyses what’s going wrong, what gives him hope, and the roadmap he envisions to restore its potential.

In a plural democracy, says he, governments must play a smaller, wiser, more benign role. And corporates a more enlightened one.
