I did a bit of business in years past in New Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai.  Nothing prepares a person for the initial onslaught of noise, odors, animals, people and traffic of these cities.  This book brings all of it to life quite clearly and intimately.  I was entertained by the author's descriptions of his experiences with his friends, business partners, rivals and enemies.  The ironies and contradictions of India are brought out quite well.  I was a bit put off by some of the tedious detail of life in India, but again, it was quite real.
