New Business in India 
The 21st Century Opportunity
by Paul Davies
"This second book by Paul Davies on the subject of doing business in India is based on a deep understanding of the realities of India and at the same time written by someone who is clearly an Indophile. The book is informative for those who are new to India or are encountering it in the early stages of doing business there. It helps with providing a reality check of the challenges. In this book India is seen as a market in itself rather than simply as a low cost centre and this shift in emphasis is important to those who want to do business in and with India."
