An excellent introduction to India, but limited in scope November 8, 2008
The authors know India from border to border and certainly are able to convey their confidence in writing about this complex country. The book is really aimed at small and medium-size businesses looking to learn more about the country and its customs with an eye to doing business there. They begin with a brief history which is quite superficial, unfortunately.
From there, they go region by region, highlighting specific industries, government programs and companies. There is great optimism about the economic future of India and it seems well founded. But their cheerleading of Ranbaxy pharmaceuticals seems misplaced given that the company has been under investigation by the FDA for years. One wonders what other problems they have glossed over.
As a guide for individual investors, the book is virtually useless. There are only a handful of Indian companies that have ADRs and the authors do mention them. They don't discuss at all the closed-end and open mutual funds that invest in India. Most of the companies they mention that are listed on one of the Indian exchanges can't easily be bought by American investors. Nevertheless, this is not the focus of the book and they should not be criticized for the book they did not write. All in all, this is a useful introduction for the reader who wants to know more about the business climate in India.
