Among the many books I have read on the cultural evolutiontaking place in India, this is perhaps the most insightful. It doesnot just map mindset changes; it does so with the certainty of aperson who has lived the changes as much as he has witnessed them.Every marketeer should keep this book on his office desk as a readyreckoner.

India in many ways is a "Nation of Nations." So muchheterogeneity and hence complexity in understanding consumers andconsumerism. Dheeraj has done a commendable job in peeling off thelayers from the onion--creating frameworks and providing veryrelatable examples to understand the culture. For instance, Dheerajhas used Bollywood as an effective mirror to portray societalchanges. Consumer India is a must-read for those who want tounderstand the cultural evolution of India with its nuances.

A labor of love. For years, I have marveled at how Dheeraj'sinquisitive brain continuously churns away to make meaning ofeverything he observes. His writing simultaneously reflects him asa "sutradaar" telling the captivating story of a changingIndia, even as it does so with the unbiased and expert credentialsof the "computerji" he describes here. Dheeraj insightfullymarries the rapid changes he chronicles with the assimilativefabric of India; where "and" trumps "or." Against the cliché"change is the only constant," he underlines that in India, changeworks with the constant. Enjoy the ride on Dheeraj's timemachine!
