Derrick J. Widmer, a Swiss attorney at law, was a senior executive with a large Swiss international cement group. His installation as the first President of the Swiss-Indian Chamber of Commerce in 1985 was a key propeller for his deliberate interest in the affairs of India. This position granted him the privilege and honor to come in close proximity and touch with some of the most distinguished men and women of India from diverse streams of life. They lit his desire and penchant to know more and more about India's geopolitical, economic, cultural and social figuration.


His personal friendship with Ratan Tata - that remained staunch - stemming from his days at the Harvard Business School has been yet another contribution factor behind his inspiration to write this book. Ever since he set foot on this country an inexplicable fondness took birth within him.


This book is dedicated to all those steadfast friends - particularly in India and Switzerland. It targets anyone who is curious to know or see how an uninhibited foreigner unveils India from 1965-2020. He has seen India gradually turning from an insanely regulated to a reasonably liberal, market-driven economy and presently a leading global player.
