Succeed in Business – The Essential Guide for Business and Investment: India by Hiru Bijlani (a consultant of prodigious experience) is a slim volume packing in a lot of information on India, Its history and society and on how to do business in India. The book starts with a brief history on India, touches on India's political system and then jumps to the business aspects of the Indian success story. Discussions on taxation, labour laws, foreign direct investment policies, stock markets and business opportunities follow. While all this is de rigueur and predictable in a volume like this, what is interesting is the sprinkling of some tid-bits and snippets in Indian society and business experience in various chapters.
