"As India gets globally integrated, its ancient wisdom is also spreading all over the world ranging from yoga and meditation to inner engineering. My congratulations to Professor Sheth and Mr. Gyanendra Singh for documenting the role of leadership in transforming India to become the third largest economy in the world. --Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation Congratulations to Jagdish Sheth and Gyanendra Singh for their moving story of India's recent transformation. In my previous talks in India, I would raise the question ""When will the Indian Tiger wake up?"" Surely, India's leaders must have been miffed seeing the rapid economic rise of its neighbors such as China, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia. Now India can add its name because its economic engine has turned on thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Much more has to be done! All the needed reforms and steps are made clear in this brilliant analysis of India's ongoing transformation. --Philip Kotler, Author, Marketing Professor, Economist and Consultant In 2023, I had the privilege to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. He is an extraordinary world leader and I am sure India will become a super economic power under his pragmatic leadership. My congratulations to Professor Sheth and Mr. Singh for documenting India's transformative journey. --Congressman Richard McCormick"
