Book review: Bridgital Dreams
A timely account of the ways in which harnessing technology can help the disempowered citizenry
Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, and Purushothaman, chief economist of Tata Group, have written an important book on how low-skilled people enabled by technology can solve the biggest problems facing India today. They identify access and jobs as the two biggest problems facing India. Access to basic services in healthcare and education (especially to women) and a lack of productive jobs for young Indians entering the job market, prevent India from reaching its full potential. Importantly, they also rue the decline of women’s participation in the workforce and the significant benefits foregone by the nation as a result.
