Subroto Bagchi uses his crossover experience from being an acknowledged leader of the Indian information technology (IT) industry to working full-time with the Government of Odisha in the rank of a cabinet minister, on a mission mode, to set up one of the stellar success stories of skill development in India. A bestselling author of several books, Bagchi uses his keen observation and experience to present stories of how the government works, of leadership at the bottom of the pyramid and the nature of transformational change in established systems. Along the way, he shows you the many facets of India that you have perhaps never seen before.

The Day the Chariot Moved is a tribute to people who make permanent change happen in one lifetime. A unique book on the imperatives for institutional leadership that is relevant across sectors, it humanizes the development agenda for policymakers in the government. It makes change agents from the social sector rethink their conventional approach and makes corporate leaders understand the complexities of making large-scale change. The stories in this book, told in a language that grips you, will help you understand the many notions of development.

The Day the Chariot Moved will move you and help you understand the how lives can be transformed at the grassroots.
