Thanks to its ability to innovate, the developed world will always have a distinct advantage over the developing world, right? Not according to leading management experts Nirmalya Kumar and
Phanish Puranam. In India Inside, the authors draw on their research to show how India is already turning this assumption on its headoften in ways invisible to consumers in the developed
world.
Through their research and extensive interviews with India-based executives from such companies as AstraZeneca, GE, Infosys, Intel, and Wipro, the authors unveil the dramatic rise in
invisible innovation occurring in Indiafrom B2B products and R&D outsourcing to process and management innovation. The book also illuminates Indian companies’ growing ability to innovate
consumer products that are compact, low-cost, efficient, and robust in the face of harsh environmental conditions. The authors’ analysis makes clear that for certain kinds of innovation, the
long-held monopoly of the developed world is over.
India Inside provides a wake-up call for executives and policy makers in the developed world and a clear-eyed view of both the challenges and opportunities facing multinationals seeking new
sources of innovation in the future.
