Description
India’s economic story is often told through its largest corporations, but this incisive study shifts attention to the proprietorships, family businesses, small manufacturers, neighborhood retailers, and household enterprises that sustain everyday commerce. Drawing on extensive research, it examines how these diverse ventures drive employment, innovation, and economic resilience while remaining underrepresented in official narratives and public policy. The book challenges the dominance of corporate and crony-capitalist perspectives, making a case for policies that recognize and support the country’s small entrepreneurs. Scholarly yet accessible, it offers a broader, more grounded understanding of India’s growth and the people who power it.
