Reviews

Spurred by technology, enabled by growing investment in infrastructure and accompanied by recognition of the need for social justice, a wave of aspiration is sweeping through families in the countryside. It is this sense of optimism and dynamism that The Future of India's Rural Markets captures so well. The book is structured to answer the three fundamental questions: why do rural markets matter, what is the change that is sweeping through them, and how to engage meaningfully with rural consumers. -- From the foreword by Professor Vijay Mahajan, University of Texas, Austin.
