NEW DELHI: A few weeks ago the Harvard Business Review published a paper which argued that India could well be the world’s next big economic power. Co-authored by Bhaskar Chakravorti and Gaurav Dalmia, the paper coined an interesting moniker: India Inevitable.
According to the authors a happy convergence of circumstances and trends have created a perfect launchpad for India’s global economic ambitions. Unless there are some unexpected surprises, the authors believe this trajectory, already underway, will fundamentally transform India.
To flesh this out we spoke to the lead author, Bhaskar Chakravorti. He is the Dean of Global Business at the Fletcher School at Tufts University–America’s oldest exclusively graduate school of global affairs.
