Description: "India is on its way to becoming a global powerhouse but in order to do so--and empower its expanding workforce--it needs to resolve the contradictions that distort society and bridge the gaps between its people. Nandan Nilekani and Viral Shah show how this can be done by using technology to radically reimagine government itself. Rebooting India identifies a dozen initiatives where a series of citizen-friendly, high-tech public institutions can deliver low-cost solutions to India's grand challenges. From social security to banking to health and legal systems, this book sets out a bold vision for India and an inspiring example for governments worldwide"--
