The Best of Forbes India is a collection of the choicest stories published in the nation's most influential business magazine since its launch in May 2009.These are handpicked stories that have a certain timeless quality. They are engaging, make you think, provoke debate and provide a brand new perspective. In many ways, the collection epitomises Forbes India's core editorial values -- of telling the story through real people. The stories reflect life's realities and bring out the many conflict points, which makes them that much more credible. Some stories remain relevant long after they were first told because they capture events and trends that are shaping the world around us. Often these trends take shape in the space where society, politics, economy, popular culture and business intersect. That's what this collection of articles from Forbes India captures.A utopia in India that is spawning eco-businesses, an IAS officer beating Naxalites at their own game, the world's number one steel baron's efforts to break free of the iron grip of a recession, the King of Good Times fighting to get back to a good place, a hotel manager who put his personal hell behind him to save lives during Mumbai's darkest hour... these are some of the stories you'll read in this book.Forbes India believes in pushing the envelope, telling stories of India through the eyes of individuals who try and shape it. It's been a little over a year since the magazine launched, and this book gives you some of its best work over the past one year.This is a collection that you'd be tempted to pick up and read even years later.
